We now have a nursery FULL of baby birds!  Some have already gone to flight cages for release.

We need more volunteers to help feed and change them and prepare their food and wash their dishes!  If you are over 18 years old and would like to be a regular volunteer, please click "Volunteer or Intern" on the left column.

We have received a young mockingbird and a nest of baby house finches:

On Saturday, September 24, we released a rehabilitated bald eagle at Jordan Lake.

The following short video shows the moment of her release.

Read a great story in the Raleigh News and Observer of the eagle's background and recovery.

From the Blue Ridge Wildlife Institute:

We have something wonderful to share. The Cedar Waxwing the you guys gave us with amputated metacarpals earlier this year is fostering a baby waxwing. She will pick up berries and regurgitate them into the baby's mouth! Hey, less work for us and its better for the baby!
