Today we released the following species of birds at the Itasca Nature Center, home of our newest Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation location:
- Common Yellowthroat
- American Redstart
- Chestnut-sided Warbler
These birds were picked up in downtown Chicago this morning by our Rescue and Recovery teams after colliding with windows in downtown buildings. They received medical attention at our Northerly Island bird hospital and fortunately 100% of this morning’s birds that arrived for treatment at our Northerly Island bird hospital survived and were released.
Sadly, there were many more species that were dead when our teams found them….
