The weather was wonderful this past weekend. Thanks to a generous grant I will be able to finish the fawn enclosure in May, just in time for this year’s fawns. I will also be able to start the flight cage for baby and injured birds. It always seems that we wait for the babies after a long winter and then all of a sudden there is a flurry of activity and we are off and running at top speed for the rest of the season. New York rehabbers are just getting their first baby squirrels and we are usually a week or two behind them. Volunteers, get ready for a call.
On another happy note, Mr. Pidge is doing exceptionally well. He is ready to go outside in a flight cage so I can check his flying ability. He also has a home with Margaret, who has a flock of pigeons, when he is ready. She will watch over him and he will have a very happy home. It is the best of both worlds for him. He will be free while having an experienced rehabber like Margaret keeping an eye on him to make sure he has no further issues. He is one lucky guy!
