Experts advise on rescuing baby critters fallen from nests
Local wildlife rehabilitator Carol Eldridge urges people to put fallen babies back if possible. If nest access is blocked, she recommends placing the chick in a high pine straw basket in a tree and waiting for the parent. Licensed rehabilitators must care for wild birds, Marilyn Schroeder notes, and if return isn’t possible, place the animal in a lined box on a low heater and contact authorities.
