Our foy BROWN THRASHER showed up at 5:45pm. It was rooting in the layer
of mulch along our garden fence line.
For those curious about the PIGEON that had been in our yard for the
past couple of days, I finally caught the bird and took it to the Janet
Swanson (Cornell) Wildlife Rehab. Center off of Snyder Hill Rd. To the
untrained eye the bird looked healthy. However, it couldn't fly very
far, so we assumed it had a damaged wing. When examined by a
veterinarian, it turns out the bird was emaciated. When I left the
center, a rehab person was holding it in a towel and letting it munch
away on a cup of seed. It was a racing pigeon. There was no charge to
drop the bird off with them. I felt compelled to make a donation!
