I don't doubt her capabilities one bit. Such people are well trained & compassionate. I meant the activity of people who might "flock" to see the capture would traumatize the bird.
I am relieved to know the name of a re-habber in the area. We apparently no longer have one here in our area. She was harrassed by certain people who apparently had the mentality (???? good intentions????) of many of PETA members. Things done to her were destructive, mean, cruel & thoughtless. Our daughter was a re-habber in Florida for a number of yrs.. It's often a dangerous & thankless job. At one time she had more & larger snakes in her home than did the local zoo.

Victoria Campbell is a thoroughly knowledgeable and infinitely compassionate Wildlife Rehabber that we are very lucky to have in our area. She runs Wild Things Sanctuary off Snyder Hill Road. You can bet the loon is in the most gentle, capable and ethical of hands with her involvement Linda Orkin Sent from my iPhone On Apr 16, 2011, at 8:23 PM, John and Fritzie Blizzard <job121...@verizon.net> wrote: Hope a lot of people don't converge on the site & traumatize the bird more than it probably will be, if it isn't already.
