I knew the wildlife. Had I known the law better I would have said, “Excuse me, but this trap is not worth over $250 nor have I damaged it with explosives, so in the State of New York you cannot legally charge me with Malicious Mischief.” I have a book about injured wildlife coming out soon, and I couldn’t buy better publicity.”.

Not having a smart phone, I called a friend in New York and had him Google up some wildlife rehabilitators’ numbers, but they were all out of service.

We’re in upstate New York, so this is unlikely, but still disturbing. Yet another Red-tailed Hawk ! Two friends were driving down a winding country road in the pouring rain, listening to the radio announcer warn that a tornado could be heading our way. What should we do?”

I recently traveled to Oklahoma to help spread the word of wildlife, finding all kinds of adventure along the way. Since wildlife rehabilitators are in short supply wherever you go, we tend to forge internet friendships; then the fact that our closest compatriots may live thousands of miles away isn’t such a problem.
