Re: [nysbirds-l] 19 Oct: Central Pk Sora continues

I spoke with Rita McMahon at Wild Bird Fund yesterday. She did not release this bird. We considered capturing it because of the injured wing. The bird is feeding well, and the question then is whether trying to capture it will stress it more than leaving it there. If it looks like it is struggl
