Re: [cayugabirds-l] T Vulture

[Jennifer M]

Hi Donna,

Quite a dilemma presented.  You could call the DEC to clarify the nest's
protection under the migratory bird act when it is within a private
structure.  Perhaps they can relocate the nest and egg(s) for you.  I also
know of a wildlife rehabber who specializes in TVs.  Perhaps she can help
too.  Feel free to DM me.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Tundra Swans

[Jennifer M]

Thanks Kevin.  I know most folks are respectful and that's very much
appreciated.  It seems a lot of folks discovered the road when the pandemic
started, while out looking for places to walk and run.  So there has been
quite an influx of new people going through.  I expect most don't know that
Ladoga Park Road is a private road.  It has been a little unnerving for the
residents.  Thank you for your reassurance and continued respect.  :)
Happy birding!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Tundra Swans

[Jennifer M]

Robyn,

Thank you for not trespassing.  My aunt lives down there and it can
sometimes get quite frustrating when people come in and wander freely as
though it's a regular park area.  It is not, it just has "park" in the name
of the road.  I appreciate your consideration.  :)

It warmed my heart to hear of the swans, thank you.  When my uncle was
dying, he asked to come home to Ladoga Park from Florida.  He wanted to see
his beloved lake again and hoped to see some swans too.  It was February
over a decade ago, and he got to see the swans.  I will let my aunt know
they are back.  <3

Jennifer

Re: [cayugabirds-l] J Swanson Wildlife

[Jennifer M]

Highly recommend contacting a licensed (including federal permit to handle
birds) and experienced wildlife rehabilitator to capture this wounded GBH.
They are dangerous to handle, even for experts (and yes, they will try to
peck your eyes out).  I highly recommend contacting:

Moran Hapeman
607-227-2622
morgan...@live.com

She is located in Lodi NY.  If she can not help, she is a good source of
recommending wildlife rehabilitators capable of this task in your area.

If she can not be reached, please reach out to your regional DEC office.
They also have trained staff to handle a bird like this.

Thank you for your efforts to help this bird.
