Red Crossbill

July 7, 2021

A red crossbill struck a window on Whidbey Island in April. He was stabilized at Best Friends Veterinary Center and transferred to the Wildlife Center shortly after. He required over a month of rehabilitation before he fully recovered from a fractured coracoid (important bone for flight). He was released at Earth Sanctuary on Whidbey Island where red crossbills were just recently spotted in their nature reserve.
