Thank You Klamath Basin Audubon Society!

TUVU xrayWOOOOO-HOOOOO! HUGE THANKS to the Klamath Basin Audubon Society!!! They came through with a $2,000 grant for our x-ray machine! That brings us up to over $4,000 toward our goal of $22,000. This is a MUCH needed piece of equipment! Currently, the cost of x-rays at a vet hospital, the stress on the animal to crate it and drive it 30 minutes into town, the barking dogs at the hospital, the volunteer time needed for transport, etc., often prevent us from taking x-rays when we could really benefit from that diagnostic tool and improve our ability to treat injured wildlife. Having our own machine will allow us to x-ray more injured birds and animals, take repeat x-rays to ensure proper splinting and healing of broken bones, and help identify victims of gun shot wounds (like the Turkey Vulture shown here with multiple pellets visible on x-ray, but no wounds showing). PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! Every donation counts! You can donate at www.indiegogo.com (search for Badger Run Wildlife Rehab), via PayPal on our website at www.BadgerRun.org, or you can mail donations to Badger Run Wildlife Rehab, 15993 Homestead Lane, Klamath Falls, OR 97601.  THANK YOU KBAS and THANK YOU to all who donate!

Golden Eagle Release, 140517

Badger Run volunteer, Jen Watkins, releases a Golden Eagle that needed a few days of R&R at our rehab center.  Poor thing had a close encounter on Hwy 66 with a car’s side-view mirror and had his “bell rung”.  This is what we love to see!
