IN 2024, WE ADMITTED A TOTAL OF 5,353 BIRDS REPRESENTING 149 DIFFERENT SPECIES. THE MOST COMMON REASON FOR ADMISSION WAS "FELL FROM NEST/ORPHAN," WITH OVER 25% OF ALL PATIENTS BEING DISPLACED YOUNGSTERS, PRIMARILY ARRIVING DURING LATE SPRING AND EARLY SUMMERCOMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "BABY BIRD SEASON." THIS PERIOD IS NOTABLY BUSY FOR OUR ORGANIZATION.MANY OF THE INJURED BIRDS WE TREAT HAVE HAD UNFORTUNATE INTERACTIONS WITH HUMANS, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. WE CATEGORIZE THESE INJURIES INTO SEVERAL TYPES, INCLUDING COLLISIONS WITH VEHICLES, WINDOW STRIKES, ENTRAPMENT IN GLUE TRAPS, POISONING, GUNSHOT INJURIES, ENTANGLEMENT IN NETTING OR FISHING LINES, AND ATTACKS BY DOMESTIC PETS. A SIGNIFICANT 3,016 PATIENTS REQUIRED CARE DUE TO SUCH PREVENTABLE INJURIES.WE ALSO ADMITTED A NUMBER OF NON-NATIVE OR DOMESTICATED BIRDS, INCLUDING PARAKEETS, RACING PIGEONS, AND BARNYARD DUCKS THAT WERE BROUGHT TO US BY THE PUBLIC. WHILE OUR MISSION FOCUSES ON NATIVE WILDLIFE, WE OCCASIONALLY REUNITE THESE BIRDS WITH THEIR OWNERS OR FIND NEW HOMES FOR THEM, AS STATE LAW PROHIBITS THEIR RELEASE INTO THE WILD. THE RAPTOR TRUST SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED 2,276 BIRDS BACK INTO THEIR NATURAL HABITATS AND TRANSFERRED 141 BIRDS TO OTHER WILDLIFE CENTERS FOR FURTHER CARE AND EVENTUAL RELEASE.AMONG THE BIRDS ADMITTED, THE AMERICAN ROBIN WAS THE MOST FREQUENTLY RECEIVED SPECIES, WITH 503 INDIVIDUALS. OTHER COMMON SPECIES INCLUDED MOURNING DOVES (484), BLUE JAYS (195), HOUSE FINCHES (171), AND WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS (168).NOTABLY, WE ALSO ADMITTED SEVERAL UNUSUAL AND INTERESTING BIRDS, INCLUDING A BRANT GOOSE, A COMMON LOON, A GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH, A MARSH WREN, AND A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, ALL OF WHICH WERE SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED BACK INTO THE WILD.
