More Information
Summary:On the list was Beth McMaster of Wildbird Recovery in Middlesex, who specializes in caring for songbirds. [Karen Kaylor] called her, and after watching the birds for a couple more hours, she reported back to McMaster, who said to bring in the birds because they probably had been abandoned. Kaylor took down the nest box and brought the brood to McMaster. McMaster transferred the swan to [Mary Beth Molnar] at Wildlife Works for a week so that Molnar could help the bird build strength in her legs and hips. After X-rays, visits with a vet and physical therapy, the swan stood up and was sent back to McMaster to continue rehabilitation. PHOTO (3); Bob Donaldson/Post-Gazette: Beth McMaster encourages a black swan to stand in a rehab room of her Middlesex home. The swan's right leg was injured when it was hit by a car in Jackson, and police helped get the bird delivered to McMaster. Bob Donaldson/Post-Gazette: These female house finches were among the 39 birds recovering under Beth McMaster's care a few weeks ago. Winter is her slow season; she often cares for more than 100 birds in summer. Bob Donaldson/Post-Gazette: Beth McMaster whispers to Darrell the duck, who has a new home waiting for him when the weather improves. In the meantime, Darrell lives in a baby playpen.
