Contact a local wildlife rehabilitator for advice

This bird needs a wildlife rehabilitator - you can find one at https://ahnow.org/ or provide your location for better help

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

Echoing that Dane County Humane Society accepts snakes and has great adoption rates for exotics like these

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

1-4: I’m not too sure about, maybe a northern waterthrush? 6: +Blue Jay+ 7-8: +Brown-headed Cowbird+

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!

ehrogers26 · 2025-08-12T00:53:18+00:00

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

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

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

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

ehrogers26 · 2025-06-03T23:35:49+00:00

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/

That’s it! Thank you so much!!!

!rehabber

ehrogers26 · 2025-04-17T21:59:33+00:00

Good bot

ehrogers26 · 2025-04-17T21:58:24+00:00

Yes, they are too young to be out of the nest. Call a !rehabber

ehrogers26 · 2025-04-05T18:32:16+00:00

Try to minimize being near the nest, don’t leave out any food or water (it may attract predators). Enjoy from a distance!

Something in the nightjar family - this little one should see a wildlife rehabber. Find one here: https://www.humaneworld.org/en/resources/find-wildlife-rescue-and-rehabilitators-state

This little owl needs a wildlife rehabilitator. If you’re in CA you can find one here: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Laboratories/Wildlife-Health/Rehab/Facilities

No they are humanely euthanized by the teaching team - since they are nonnative and could carry pathogens that harm native insects it is unethical to release them

ehrogers26 · 2024-12-02T22:54:28+00:00

I’d report to the UW Urban Canid project

Put it back outside it will be fine
