A Busy New YearWe ended 2020 and started 2021 with Pine Grosbeaks in rehab. It is not uncommon to see these colorful birds get injured in the winter, but this year we had 4 at one time, a bit of a rush for our normally mellow season. Three of these birds flew into windows, and the fourth was injured by a Northern Shrike, an unusual passerine in that it hunts other birds.

Dear Alaska WildBird Rehabilitation Center supporters
As we approach winter still under Covid-19 concerns, Alaska WildBird Rehabilitation Center is adjusting operations to cope with continued restrictions. The public will still only be allowed to interact with the staff outdoors, on the porch or in the parking area. While we have allowed increased staffing of volunteers where needed, we are diligent in use of masks, social distancing and sanitization.
If you have an injured bird, wish to make a donation of supplies or food, or otherwise need to visit the center, we ask that you call ahead. For those very much appreciated financial donations, we ask that you either use the mail or our secure website donate button.
Our entire staff and volunteer team thank you for your support and concerns.
