West Nile virus takes its toll on center's birds of prey (subscription required  >:( )

http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/life/outdoors/west-nile-virus-takes-its-toll-on-center-s-birds/article_49afb787-895a-5766-b91d-66167d340552.html

From the rehabber's FB page:

Indiana Raptor Center
July 5 at 1:14am ?

We are admitting patients at a record breaking pace as are several other rehab centers in the region- we are never able to explain these things unless it occurs during and because of West Nile Virus season- which does not hit until August.

Still receiving babies in early July! This screech owlet came in this morning from Terre Haute- via angel Karen who meets us in Spencer for the relay.

He is suffering from a nasty leg break at the lower end of his tibia. The fracture is nearly in the joint so it is not possible to use steel pins to surgically repair the break.

It is most frustrating to splint little feathery legs without making a big mess out of a little bird. His spirits are very high though as he downed a large chopped mouse as soon as the last piece of tape was place on his leg! He has been give meds for pain, sleep and swelling... To the vet in the morning- wish him well!

The following is copied from Forum's "Birds in the News" thread where T40cfr403 posted yesterday the news of the shooting and killing of two Whooping Cranes in Texas. 
T40's post can be found in that thread at:
http://www.raptorresource.org/forum/index.php/topic,2027.msg453624.html#msg453624

Below is a quote of T40's post along with my reply posted in that same thread.

Texas man charged with killing endangered whooping cranes

http://www.khou.com/story/news/local/animals/2016/01/15/texas-man-arrested-killing-endangered-whooping-cranes/78833816/




T40, I hope you don't mind that I'm going to share this post of yours in the Forum's thread for the Operation Migration Whooping Cranes.  I am beyond angry about this!  I don't care how young this person is who shot and killed these 2 Whooping Cranes, he better get an active prison term out of it as far as I'm concerned... The story says the max he can get is 6 months, and I hope he gets sentenced to a good portion of that, and has to serve it.  Someone has to start having the guts to enforce such laws!  What good are these laws without enforcement?
