Hi,


    While working downstair, one of the staff told me to id's a bird in 
the box that someone found on corner of Penn and Pratt Street somewhere 
near downtown. Some of the staffs at the clinic don't know much about 
id's any birds that are injured. As I looked in the box, i was 
surprised, it was an AM. WOODCOCK. Someone found this bird dazed and was 
bleeding from the head, left eye, and part of beak. It might have been 
hit by a car on it left side or hitting a window on one of the highrise 
buildings or even attacked by a Peregrine Falcon. It was in fair to 
stable condition but improved well. 
    Last time I saw a woodcock was back in '93 at the Baltimore Zoo 
under a bushes at the new African Watering Hole. 


Remember, if you see any injured birds or other wildlife, sent them in 
to Fallston Vet Clinic on Belair Rd. This is a major bird hospital for 
wild and captive birds and other wildlife too. This clinic also used for 
anybody's pets too. Or call the clinic at 410 877-1727. Many people 
brought in wildlife from PA, DEL, and across MD.
