We're considering working on building a wildlife rescue network in Minnesota. We've gotten so busy that we can't do it all physically or financially. It would be completely voluntary. There would be an application and liability release forms. Would anyone be interested in this?

Another busy day in rescue. A sparrow fledgling from Austin, and a nighthawk from Winona went to WRC. 4 abandoned raccoons from Spring Grove went to WRR. A Cooper's hawk from Austin went to TRC.

Busy day in rescue. First we went to check on a fawn. Possibly abandoned, but seemed to be in good shape. So it's being checked on over the next couple days. Next is an injured baby bird. We're not sure what kind yet. It was too late to get it to WRC. So it's going up tomorrow. Last is an injured baby Barred Owl. Bad wing. Hoping it can be fixed. It's going to The Raptor Center tomorrow.
