Good Morning everyone....
I don't manage the Wildlife Center's website any longer because since I retired I'm seldom there.
That notwithstanding, one of the most important pages is on their new site, under the heading "More..." and it's Baby Birds 101.
It's that time of year, and we get hundreds of bird-related calls all spring and summer and sometimes beyond.
Before you call the Center or intervene should you find a baby bird please read that page.Most importantly, please rescue if a bird is in need, but don't kidnap healthy fledges, as they normally spend a few days on the ground learning essential survival skills from the parents.It's OK to pick a bird up and move it out of harm's way into a shady spot.
Glenda, thanks for mentioning SPWRC always needs volunteers. Baby birds are fed every 30 minutes or so (depending on age and species) from early morning until dusk.

Big thanks to Brad for putting out the plea for help. Catching it took some effort, but it was worth it.
SPWRC reports they are in dire need of volunteers at this time. If you’ve ever considered volunteering there, now is the time to act. An application can be found on their website. Please continue supporting SPWRC both monetarily and with donations of needed supplies.
