Even the most touchy-feely, circle-of-lifey, we’re-all-one-with-nature wildlife rehabilitators hate them. Why am I posting a photo of a hippoboscid on a Red-tailed Tropicbird, a bird I’ve never rehabbed? Birds flat flies hawks hippoboscids wildlife rehabilitator' It’s not good. I’ll tell you how.

That particular summer I had what seemed like 40 or 50,000 patients, and I was whining about how difficult it was to deal with large, stress-prone birds when they were starting to feel better. In order to minimize handling, any sort of medical treatment needed is done then, as well. When birds are down and out, this is not a problem.

On August 21st, Maryjane Angelo of Skye’s Spirit Wildlife Rehabilitation in Pennsylvania received a call from a man who said his nephew was standing in the middle of a rural road, guarding a Bald Eagle. The bird usually turns out to be a hawk, vulture, exotic chicken, or sometimes a pigeon. Will he be okay?” Please help!

These saintly people are are stressed out, sleep deprived, and working insane hours, but they somehow manage to stick to the feeding/medical treatment schedules and give all kinds of wild creatures a second chance at life. Google your town, county, or state, find your closest wildlife rehabilitator, and send them a donation.

There is no excuse for putting a banner photo like this on a renowned birding site. It’s just that when summer is over and most wildlife rehabilitators are fried, this is the kind of thing that will make most of us fall to our knees, choking with laughter, tears spurting from our eyes. We do real birds.”.

This guest blog was written by Debbie Souza-Pappas, the director and founder of Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation in Price, Utah. It seemed whoever set the trap had ‘released’ the injured eagle upon finding him, as the bird could not have freed himself without the loss of the entire foot. This was going to be a tough case.
