Another fishing line rescue for an osprey. It's in care with wounds to the leg and wings. #ospreyrescue Clear your effing gear, anglers! Monofilament kills birds, mammals and marine life.
Fledgling Ospreys can get into so much trouble. Today's adventure - a couple out sailing netted this one in the middle of a river in Baltimore county. It rode back to the marina with them in their tender. I approached it, and the bird fell right back into the water, so I netted it. #ospreyrescue
Got up, had a text asking me to go to the Port of Baltimore to rescue this osprey. It has a broken left leg and will go to Owl Moon Raptor Center. #osprey#ospreyrescue
Today's rescue was a severely underweight almost-fledgling Osprey that came off its cell phone tower nest. It also cannot put weight on the left foot. It's at Phoenix Wildlife Center being evaluated. #osprey#ospreyrescue
That face when you are getting temporary anklets, jesses and the creance line attached because you gotta go out there and prove you can fly to stupid stinky humans. 🤣🤣 #osprey#ospreyrescue#creanceflying
Rescued this osprey that got caught in overhead netting on a koi pond. This stuff doesn't work; it injures the wildlife it's supposed to repel. It'll go to Owl Moon Raptor Center for evaluation and treatment. #ospreyrescue
Blast from the past: a typical Osprey rescue. Each year, I rescue more ospreys and red shouldered hawks than any other raptor. #osprey#ospreyrescue
