Hello friends: I was taking one of our phoebe fledglings to Greenwood yesterday for some medical help, and learned that the rehab center could itself use a bit of CObirds help in releasing rehabbed young birds to the most salutary environment.
One young Bullock's oriole has had to cohabit with a bunch of kingbirds for a while as it healed, and the bird is losing a sense of its identity! Now that it is physically capable of being released, ideally the release should take place in an area where there are other orioles. Dispersal & migration are already under way. I took a lengthy jog walk today and could find not a single oriole in several square miles. I heard one at our feeders at dawn, that was it. Does anyone else know of a place where a cluster of orioles remains at the moment? You can call me at 303 772 3239 or call Greenwood at 303 823 8455. There are many other cured & healed youngsters (goldfinches, ducks, kingbirds, hummers, waxwings, you name it) who need release sites--private land, lots of cover and no cats--so CObirders could be a rich source of information in this regard. Thanks for any help. Linda Andes-Georges Central Boulder County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
