What puzzled me was the lack of protective adults, and nest proximety. Just a very weird situation that after 15 years in the business in Calgary I have never experienced. |
There are places where you can take the injured or orphaned wildlife - there is no need to kill it - ever. What a tragic loss! Medicine River Wildlife Center will have a volunteer pick up the animals - all you have to do is make a phone call. 4-403-728-3467. Please do not kill andy more animals needlessly.
