Update on Robin Rescue

Sadly three robins did not make it. They were fine in the evening, but in the morning only one was alive. He had fallen out of his nest and into a patch of sun, which saved him. My daughter brought him in and began warming him. We picked him up and took him to the "bird lady". He had plenty of energy when we dropped him off. The "bird lady" expects him to survive and be released when he is older.

In the wild this little killdeer lives in a pile of grass on the ground but decided to take over the robins nest instead. Cute!

The "bird lady" goes to schools to tell kids about wild bird rescue. She let the boyz hold and touch the birds and told them lots of neat info about wild birds.

While we were there "Z" volunteered to come and help out. "Bird lady" said that we could help by fostering recovered birds until she finds permanent homes for them. We decided to foster doves and/or pigeons.
