What SkyWatch Bird Rescue Does
In its first year, SkyWatch Bird Rescue helped 350 birds and now the organization has taken in about 1,400 birds this year. Amelia Mason has reported, “Ninety-five percent of birds I see here are for man-made reason. Fish hooks in their beaks, dog and cat attacks, running into windows.” Her goal with SkyWatch Bird Rescue is to continue to help injured birds while also informing the public about their presence.
