Oh he was breaking my heart last night. We don’t have to speak the same language for him to make it clear he was in pain. He was hit by a car and his left wing is clearly broken. He was brought to us late last night by two women who were eternally grateful they were able to find help for him. They witnessed him get hit and even the person who accidentally hit him stopped to try and get him help. Everyone just wanted him to be Ok.

We stabilized the wing last night with a wrap. We addressed his pain and put him on oxygen throughout the night. A blood sample showed his clotting is also severely delayed so we are treating for rat poison - as the delayed clotting will delay healing of the wing and make him more susceptible to a plethora of problems. Im sure you’re tired of hearing me say it - I’m even more tired of seeing it.

He is headed to Cape Ann Wildlife, Inc today for X-rays and further treatment. Seeing his face so much brighter this morning was everything.

Left was last night. Right is this morning. ❤️

We are up to four Canada Geese here. Each one came in with their own issues and, after quarantine, were allowed to join the flock. They are very social animals and being alone takes a toll on them. We’re thrilled that “friendship” is one of the things we are able to offer them. 🥰

We took our Andover red tailed hawk to see Dr. Kalani at Littleton Animal Hospital today. He was treated for rodenticide poisoning and head trauma when he first arrived at the rescue.

We had some concerns about his vision, so we wanted to make sure he received a full eye exam. The doctor suggests more time and rest, so that’s exactly what he will get. ❤️

Good morning, from Nibi. Instinct is something wildlife rehabbers rely on very much. It’s this preprogramming these animals come with. A bird will build a nest, without ever being taught. A fox has such a strong urge to hunt. A beaver simply must build…

He’s saying, “Thank you so much for saving me. I really appreciate it.”
Just kidding. That’s NOT what he’s saying…

So well written…
The before and after is insane. We are so grateful to have Berkshire Wildlife Services in Massachusetts. 🙏🙏🙏

“Take good care of Dave.” He said. Not in a friendly voice. More in an authoritative voice.

The boy was only about 4 years old. Short and wirey, but confident. He was getting back into his mother’s car but wanted to let me know he was looking out for his new friend. Anything less than good care would not be tolerated.

“You got it!” I said as I walked away with a cardboard box.

It turns out Dave is a female cottontail suffering from some neurological signs and severe hypothermia. We are currently working on slowly getting her body up to temperature and making a treatment plan for her. She has quite the advocate behind her and we don’t want to disappoint him. ❤️

UPDATE: From not being able to stand, to perching proudly in three days! Our Boston red tailed hawk has responded well to treatment for rat poison.

He will be transferred to Cape Ann Wildlife, Inc for further care. ❤️

Today’s adventures included the rescue of a red tailed hawk that appears to have been poisoned and a Canada goose that was hit by a car.
We worked alongside Andover Animal Control for the Hawk and the Lynn Fire Department for the goose. Both of these wild birds are getting the care they need thanks to the collaborative efforts of our local officials ❤️❤️❤️
