Re: [Maine-birds] Re: Disabled Evergreen Cormorant - Can't something be done?

I wonder if they would need to give the bird(s) shelter? It may be that it would do OK on its own if it were transported to where the water would not freeze.

Avian Haven may be able to assist - I know they rescued some owls, hawks, eagles over the past few months.  They are a bit up the coast i think but i believe this is the organization that might be able to help.  worth trying!  Ron

I asked this question last spring.  Noah Gibb responded and we both are willing to step up w/ $ or muscle to help this bird.  The answer to what will happen with the advent of fall and winter is that the animal will suffer a slow cruel death as it freezes in the ice UNLESS we help it.  This is not the Galapagos and helping this animal won't contaminate the natural ecosystem.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the cormorant and maybe the C Goose could be captured - do we need permission from Fish & Wildlife or other State or Fed Authority? 
And equally important, does anyone have a lead on a rescue or shelter willing to house these birds?  I know that some aquariums take in wounded shorebirds etc. They also house those who cannot be returned to the wild.   If anyone has any ideas - I'm willing to make the calls and the case.
