I want to thank everyone who wrote, yelled, hollered, screamed, prayed and continued to tell the folks at St Patrick’s County Park that he needed to be in care. Your fight for him made the difference in his life or death.
Please read the information from the wildlife rehabber carefully and be grateful that they were ‘finally’ called as Little Bit would have been dead if he had been left in the bushes much longer. He was not being fed and he could not fly!
Please thank the Humane Wildlife Clinic for all they are doing for Little Bit 17. Go to their FB page or send them an e-mail at druiz2humaneindiana.org
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

Tears of gratitude to you and all concerned for 17, Mary Ann. So glad he’s in such good care now. Hopefully he’ll begin to thrive, getting enough food and TLC!
Oh, Yes!!!!! I hope that they will keep him until he is quite capable of his own hunting and his flying is superb. Poor little thing sitting there starving to death while people watched. Whoever gave the park advice sure didn’t know what they were doing. Makes me mad.
