Thanks for the focus on our BRPE. Unfortunately I was recovering from surgery and was down in mid April-
During that time, I received 7 reports of young BRPE down, from Elk to Westport. A few were acting very odd and were seen wandering near or in roadways-
I couldn’t respond, but did put the word out to my short list of folks who have assisted in getting birds to rescue facilities in the past.
What can people do??
I always have folks call Bird Rescue first-
That way they can be advised on next steps.
Even if we had a pile of volunteers willing to do capture and transport, it seems critical to get guidance on next steps.
Concerned Reporting Parties should be advised that they may need to consider the long drive.
We have a few folks on the short list and Mendocino Wildlife can sometimes assist in transport relay to SRBR and on to IBRC.
Just my 10 cents
-Sarah
