THROUGH THESE DOORS

There's never a dull moment around our shelter. Among the many animals we treated and released this summer were:

• A Scrub Jay caught in a cat collar-that was still on the cat (yikes!)
• Two Eastern Gray Squirrels, one who fell from a power line and another who'd been trapped in a wading pool by a ferocious kitten
• A California Quail that flew into the grille of a volunteer's car
• A Sparrow with his head caught in the bars of a lawn chair

And when we say summer is our busiest season, we mean it! Take a look at a few of the animals we've cared for these last couple of months:

• 223 Mourning Doves
• 186 Eastern Gray Squirrels
• 51 Mallards
• 46 American Robins
• 9 Cowbirds
• 2 Thrashers
• 2 Cormorants
• 1 Snowy Egret
• 1 Great Egret
• 1 Sandpiper
• 1 Hairy Woodpecker
