It is always hotter as you move away from the coast and more challenging for the birds as the last of the ephemeral lakes dry up.

Jodi Swenson is a bird rehabber in Gloucester, MA. Her fine china repair business pays her bills, but her budget is often strained past the breaking point by the 250-300 birds she takes in per year – such as this Eastern Screech Owl , who is recovering after being hit by a car. And feed him. That’s why we’re always broke.
