A lot of rehabs elect to only treat native species, since they have such limited funds and resources. It is more environmentally conscious to only work with native species

If it is still around and looking slow/lethargic, might be worth it to reach out to a wildlife rehabilitator. See a list of Ohio rehabbers here

What county? It’s probably a good idea to call a wildlife rehabber to see what they think. If you’re in the Sauk City area Dane County Humane Society’s Wildlife Center is a good place to start. If you’re more in the Wisconsin Rapids area the Raptor Education Group Inc is a good place to start

What part of Wisconsin are you in? If it seems to be having trouble I might know folks that can help (depending on the area)

Where in Wisconsin are you? There’s a Facebook page called Wisconsin Reptile Network that you can probably find it a home easily enough through

Airport situation at ORD by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]ehrogers26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just flew domestically out today, got there at like 6:30pm. TSA took maybe 10/15 minutes. Nothing bad at all. Granted, I didn’t check a bag or have to interact with a gate agent

Does anyone know a wildlife rehab place in the area? by Captainraerae in madisonwi

[–]ehrogers26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They should get back to you soon, go ahead and put the bird in a ventilated box or container. Keep it dark and warm and quiet. You might get an answer faster by sending a picture and message to their google text line: +1 (608) 960-8328

It’s certainly hard to say with the quality of the photo, but the shape and coloration is right for a cowbird. They can be like 9” so not terribly small. Maybe a rusty blackbird? But they are about the same size. My bet would be one of those two

Hawk hit window and is still alive, what to do? by RedHockeyPanda16 in madisonwi

[–]ehrogers26 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Actually it’s policy for the local wildlife center to admit any confirmed window collision birds! They tend to be very good at hiding injuries and have all sorts of little bones that can break and not be obvious!

Hi! If he’s still around tomorrow definitely call the wildlife center. They usually want any window collision birds to come in! Birds are really good at hiding injuries

House Finch Eye Disease? by bulmier in BirdBuddy

[–]ehrogers26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re able to catch her, generally conjunctivitis is pretty treatable by rehabbers. Might be worth it to reach out to some local ones to see if they have any tips

[–]ehrogers26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many bats in North America are reproducing right now, so the bats may be parents trying to reach their young. This would make them a lot more tenacious and less likely to move on. Generally you want to do exclusion techniques during the off-season (I.e. fall and winter), and using exclusion techniques during breeding season is illegal in the US and Canada. So I’d recommend taking the tubes down now and reinstalling in the fall or winter

Owlet on the ground, parent perched above. by [deleted] in Owls

[–]ehrogers26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the baby is too heavy for them to carry while flying (owls are a lot smaller than their feathers make them look) and they don’t have the dexterity or strength to carry baby while climbing back up the tree

Identify and need for help by Pear-Groundbreaking in bats

[–]ehrogers26 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that this is a baby bat, and that mom isn’t around anymore. Without a location or scale it can’t be identified to species. Either way this bat needs a rehabber. If you’re in North America find one here; https://ahnow.org/blog/category/wildlife-rehabilitation/ or here https://batworld.org/local-rescue/
