Orphaned baby birds have started to show up at Bird TLC. Please folks, be aware that this is the time of year when they are emerging and learning to fly and care for themselves. Before you cut a tree down, check for nests. Watch for mommas and chicks crossing the highways. Keep your cats inside so they don’t prey on helpless little ones. Birds bring beauty and light to our state and provide valuable services in maintaining our ecosystem. Let’s be respectful of their need for a little extra care and attention this time of the year.
