Wednesday, August 27, 2014. VINS Incredible Insect Festival. Naturalist Photographer Sam Jaffe. Being such a success as a first time event, I sure hope to be here for an even bigger turn out next year! There were many things I just didn't have enough time to try. For example, Anne Dannenberg taught some people how to make bee hives out of bamboo. These small, easy to make hives are great to put around gardens to help attract pollinators, and also make great decoration! Saturday, August 23, 2014. A juveni...

Friday, June 28, 2013. Example of leg splint and boot. On an American Crow. Fledgling Blue Jay -. Fully healed and growing strong! With a secure splint, healing medications and a healthy Blue Jay diet, we hoped this youngster would be on his way to a full recovery. Birds’ bones heal very quickly, and the baby Blue Jay’s splint and shoe were ready to be removed after only one week. To our delight, the fracture had a firm callous on it, and it was healed!

Thursday, May 29, 2014. Baby Birds Have Arrived! By Calah Beckwith, Lead Wildlife Keeper. It was a little late in coming this year, but baby bird season is upon us! We are busy feeding many of these little guys every thirty minutes, but I wanted to take a moment to share some photos of the current crew. And look at them now! Only a few days later, they've grown feathers and refuse to stay in their nest. They scoot around exploring and snuggle under stuffed animals. If you'd like to watch as these baby bl...

Of all the birds who find themselves in harms way, it’s likely that a very small percentage will be lucky enough to be found by someone who will help. Many of the birds that find their way to the. Do so under extraordinary circumstances. Weary from their travels.
