PASSAGE SEVEN-SIX

Rescue baby bird

1.I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. 

2.Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.

3.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2- to 3-week-old owl. 

4.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick and it seemed fine.

5.If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. 

6.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful.

7.A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. 

8.I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.  

9.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.

10.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.

11.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!

12.The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.

13.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

第七十六篇

拯救幼鸟

1.我和野生动物志愿者一起工作，这是一个位于蝗虫谷贝利植物园的救援和教育组织。

2.试图帮助受伤、流离失所或生病的生物可能会令人心碎;生死未卜。然而，当它起作用时，它就是美丽的。

3.我接到了一个来自羊肉镇的女人打来的救援电话。她在地上发现了一只小猫头鹰。当我到达时，我看到了一只两到三周大的猫头鹰。

4.为了安全起见，它已经被放在了一个运载器里。我检查了幼鸟，它看起来很好。

5.如果我能找到巢穴，我也许能把它放回去，但运气不好。

6.我的下一个工作是建造一个巢，并把它固定在一棵树上。房主非常乐于助人。

7.发现了一个铁丝篮子。我在篮子里放了一些松枝，使这个窝既安全又舒适。

8.我把幼鸟放在窝里，它很快就安静下来了。现在只需要父母了，但他们不在。我给了房主一段猫头鹰雏鸟饥饿尖叫的录音。

9.这些标志向成年鸟表明雏鸟的存在;它们可能也会鼓励幼鸟开始鸣叫。

10.我尽可能多地向店主提供信息，然后回家看看晚上会有什么消息。

11.当然，这是一个紧张的夜晚，但有时大自然的灵魂会对我们所有人微笑!

12.房主打电话说，幼鸟的父母已经对录音做出了回应。我开车过去，看到窝里的幼鸟看起来既健康又活跃。

13.在巢里，伴随着它的是最壮观的景象，午餐!父母已经尽了他们的责任，而且很可能会继续这样做。
