Bird TLC Clinic Volunteer on Wednesdays, Erika is helping this baby osprey learn to eat on it's own. This is one of two that came to TLC about a week ago. This one was injured the worst. It had a broken wing and two burned legs from a forest fire. The wing has healed, but the burns are being a little trying.The other was placed in a nest near Hatchers Pass by Matanuska Electric Assn. employees today.

A forest fire? Oh dear. Hope their wounds heal quickly.
I love osprey... their sweet call, watching them dive over the bay. Hate to think of them leaving in another month or so.
Laura - One was placed in another nest by a local utility company. The one that's left, its injured wing has healed and we're waiting on the burns to do the same. That one is a slow process.
Was it too young to escape the nest and the fire, Dave? Was that how it happened?
