Thank you to everyone who came on Saturday to help with Spring Cleaning! Lots of weeds were pulled and the perimeter of all the pens were trimmed up. After a quick pass with the riding lawn mower we will be in great shape to host visitors.

A Sad Week for Eagles

It was a sad week for rehab birds. There were just two admissions. We could not save an emaciated Golden Eagle found starving at Ladd Marsh. He was 40% underweight and died within 24 hours of admission. A Bald Eagle from Imbler was admitted with signs of electrocution. The damage to her right wing and both feet was too extensive to repair and she was euthanized. 

The Nestling Great Horned Owl is Doing Well

The nestling Great Horned Owl admitted last week tested negative for avian influenza. In one week he has nearly doubled his weight. He’s gone from 11.5 ounces to 20 ounces. He’s eating about 7 mice per day! We tried giving him a buddy, but he is not impressed. The goal this week is to reunite him with his parents!

Welcome Harini

We are pleased to welcome Harini to BMW for an 8-week internship. Harini is from Singapore and already has a wide-ranging resume, from launching a sourdough bread baking business with her sister to caring  for 100 horses at an equine rescue facility. She will be attending Georgetown University in the fall with a long-term goal of a career in environmental ethics. In just one week she has become a valuable member of the BMW team!

Thank you again Spring Cleaning Crew!!!
