Marshall Terr. is a small park just south of the Excel plant on Marshall.
There's a small parking lot and then a short walk to the MS Riv. to view
the Blue Heron rookery.

[mou-net] Marshall Terrace

[Tom Gilde]

Could anyone clue me in on how to access Marshall Terrace in NE Mpls?  The 
directions from eBird got me to the locked gates of the secured XCel power 
plant.  I’d be surprised if XCel was opening its gates to anyone just dropping 
by with binoculars but what do I know?  Thanks,

[mou-net] HPAI and WRC Admissions

[Tami Vogel]

Hi Everyone,

I'm wearing my official WRC hat for this email. I felt it is important that we 
communicate our HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) protocols directly 
with you, people who are passionate about birds.

We've spent the past weeks consulting with federal agencies and other wildlife 
hospitals. Due to the high path nature of the virus, lack of a quick test and 
inability to quarantine birds in individual rooms with separate air systems, 
we've made the grave decision to not admit susceptible species for 
rehabilitative treatment. This includes all species of ducks/diving birds, 
pelicans, raptors, gulls, tundra swans and great blue herons.

Unfortunately there is no way for us to safely treat them, and quarantining 
them is not an option due to scale (you cannot "quarantine" birds together). 
Keeping the virus out of the building will hopefully prevent us from being 
closed by an agency for 3-6 weeks and/or having to cull other avian patients.

During our operating hours (9am-6pm daily) we can offer humane euthanasia to 
end suffering if you want to bring us injured/sick, or orphaned susceptible 
birds who will not survive on their own. We have protocols and signage in place 
for this, the box containing the susceptible species needs to stay outside.

Raptors should go directly to the university's raptor center.

As you can imagine, this is not a decision made lightly. We are so sad to see 
HPAI moving through the wild populations this time around.

If you'd like more information or want to share our public statement, it's on 
our website www.wrcmn.org

I'm happy to answer your questions off-channel via email.
