Patient of the day: California Scrub-jay
Is it real or fake?

PatientS of the day: 30+ songbirds RELEASED - California Scrub Jays, Northern Mockingbirds, American Robins, & California/Spotted Towhees.

Two of our interns assisted staff in releasing multiple species of birds today. This was their first experience with releasing animals and they agreed that it is incredibly rewarding to see the patients from start to finish and see that their hard work in taking care of these birds has paid off.

We are so thankful for our interns!! And that our success rate is high for our patients!
