I Found an Injured, Sick, or Orphaned Bird… Now what?
Erie Bird Observatory personnel are not licensed wildlife rehabilitators, so we are not able to help you ourselves, but here are resources for you to follow up with:
*In Northwest Pennsylvania, call Tamarack Wildlife Center at 814-763-2574. *
Please note that you must leave a message; they will call back within an hour.
Meanwhile, keep your eyes on the bird if at all possible.
For other parts of Pennsylvania, look up the nearest wildlife rehabilitator at: https://pawr.com/
For capture and transport within Pennsylvania, Wildlife In Need (WIN) may be able to help you. Go to https://winemergencyresponse.com/ or call 877-239-2097.
