 A Week of Releases

Songbird releases included two American Robins, a Say’s Phoebe, a Western Kingbird and a Casin’s Finch. Tricia traveled to Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area near La Grande and released a Red-tailed Hawk and the four young Striped Skunks whose mother was struck by a vehicle and killed.

She had quite the rodeo corralling the four skunks in two kennels. Then there was the rather odiferous drive to Ladd Marsh. When she opened the kennel doors, two skunks immediately came out, one from each kennel.

Finally number four emerged. They were so busy exploring their new surroundings, they didn’t even notice Tricia.
