We’ve shared many interesting facts about Western Grebes and Clark’s Grebes over the years – from how we care for their chicks to their unique feet and leg structure. But did you know that these two grebes can also hybridize?

The threat to wild birds is real: Bird Flu, known to the scientific community as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), has emerged in 2022 as a serious and deadly threat to birds in a changing world.
We need your help in choosing the official 2022 Patient of the Year. After much consideration, we’ve narrowed it down to these four birds, who each had to overcome their unique challenges.
We are so grateful for your support in 2022 that helped us give the best care to possible to our 3,400+ waterbird patients!
There’s no greater feeling as a wildlife professional than to see one of your former patients back in the is wild thriving – especially nearly 6 years later. A case in point is a Brown Pelican with blue band X39.
Join us on November 29 in taking action for the birds this holiday season. Together, we hope to raise $40,000 on Giving Tuesday to support waterbird rescue and rehabilitation.
