As painful as it is to encounter (or even think about!) an injured bird struggling to fly, there is hope. New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation (@NYSDEC) operates a hotline for reporting injured animals, and dedicated wildlife rehabilitators will do everything they can to help. Discover more about what you can do to help our feathered friends through the "HV Viewfinder" link in bio. . 📷: Rufus, an Eastern Screech Owl rehabilitated by Annie Mardiney, became an education bird due to missing an eye.
