We are accepting intern applicants for our 2020 Avian Interns! Positions are unpaid but guarantee first class hands-on experience with songbirds, game birds and waterfowl. We require 20-30 hrs/wk and a full season commitment.
Migrating waterfowl like this Pied-billed Grebe can become stranded on wet pavement (it looks like water from above). A stranded bird should be captured and brought to us.
Bring directly to the center. We are open daily, hours listed below, including holidays.
If animal has flies, ants or small worms crawling on it, please bring it to us. No need to call first.
Suspected Orphan? Call us before picking up animal: 651-486-9453.
If animal is in a safe location, please leave it where it is and wait for a return call.
If animal is in the street, please note the exact location it was found, look for parents, then contain it in a box and call us.
If orphaned animal is a lone duckling, or a group of them, wandering without mom, just bring them in. No need to call first. Please keep them dry - no water for them to swim in!
Drop us a note (status@wrcmn.org) with the person's name who admitted it, the approximate date and the species.
We'll get back to you within 7-10 days.
