CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc
We have yet another reminder of the impact of gunshot injuries on wildlife. Meet one of our first patients of the year—an osprey (Patient 25-32) who arrived with a pellet gun wound. Multiple pellets fractured its wing in two places, leaving it unable to fly. Sadly, this type of injury is far too common in birds we see at CROW.
Thankfully, this osprey's fracture doesn't require surgery, and the affected wing is being immobilized in a wing-to-body wrap which serves as a splint while it heals. Our dedicated team is carefully monitoring its recovery
Pellet gun injuries are a preventable threat to wildlife, causing long-lasting harm to innocent animals. Not only this, but it is illegal to shoot at osprey and other wild birds, as they are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It's crucial we spread awareness about the dangers of these weapons and advocate for the safety of our wildlife. Together, we can make a difference in preventing these injuries and giving wildlife a safer environment.

Sometimes it looks like they use the fish like a ski and zip right along the surface of the water! Video by Mark Smith

I guess Iris doesnt arrive til the first week of April = pretty consistently.

Disappointed in Captiva osprey nest, we didnt get a mating pair.  The male came and built a lovely nest - but didnt seem interested in a mate.

Hi Shep,
I'm very excited to see if Finnigan returns too.

The House Sparrow taking care of nest, you can see its door into its home
