Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is a 501 c 3 nonprofit with principal programs of Wildlife Rehabilitation, Community Outreach and Education, and Volunteerism. As our facility is not open to the Public for wildlife viewing, we hope our blog allows people in our community to see the work we do and appreciate the wildlife we all share our environment with. We are an all-volunteer organization that provides services throughout the State of Colorado. We rely on donations to provide services, as we are not funded by any agency. We provide care to wildlife ONLY and are licensed for all birds, including all birds of prey, as well as small mammals. We hope you find the blog entertaining, useful, and fun. We're open to suggestions on how to improve as well!

By Donna Ralph, Ellicott Wildlife Rehab. Center
Yesterday afternoon a Coronado High School student apparently found an injured hawk that had been hit by a car on Fillmore Hill. He and his friends picked the bird up and wrapped in his jacket, took to the school office, and proceeded to set about finding help. The student spoke with Joel, Coronado student as well, who called Phil at work at King Soopers, as Joel works there and is familiar with EWRC. Phil recommended taking the bird to the vet for treatment, so Ray who works in maintenance at Coronado took the hawk to Dr. E. who determined the bird has a fractured ulna. DOW volunteer Cheryl picked the bird up from the vet and brought to EWRC. Time and rest, then some exercise in an outdoor flight, then we anticipate the bird will be released back to the area where first picked up, with all the people that cared enough to take the time to help this critter.
