Most of our baby birds are grown and flying. We returned an American Crow to its family east of Pendleton, then traveled La Grande to release  a Robin…

The next stop was Ladd Marsh to release a Swainson’s Hawk who had been shot near Union. Hopefully he will stick around the marsh. Like all Swainson’s he definitely has an attitude!

On Saturday, Tricia went down the hill to Sparks Station elevator and released a Cliff Swallow who was immediately greeted by the Swallows there… 

The Common Raven is full grown, but still thinks he needs to be fed…

From the mess he makes in his cage throwing food around, we’re pretty sure he’s quite capable of feeding himself. Perhaps we are being manipulated by a teenager?
