Last night, into early morning, I took over fifty phone calls, texts
and Facebook messages. Most were about weak and dying warblers, robins
and woodcocks. Please understand this is an extraordinary situation.
More snow and cold temperatures are predicted for Wednesday and
Thursday. The birds require your help. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! We are
in desperate need of volunteer drivers for this event specifically.
Please call 715-623-4015 or leave a message on Facebook if you can help
us. Birds are coming from Marshfield, Stevens Point, Pittsville, Adams
Friendship, Wausau, Shawano, Marion and all of the surrounding areas.
This
is not a normal spring. The birds can deal with some snow and cold, but
not deep snow (30 plus inches) and sustained cold. They have slipped
into hypothermia, unable to maintain their own body temperature or keep
themselves warm any longer. Birds that eat insects cannot find natural
food. They are starving...http://www.raptoreducationgroup.org/blog/2018/4/17/alert-bird-emergency
