Mourning Dove. I believe this guy got hit by a car and had some wounds to his chest. I wasn't there when he came in, but it doesn't seem like they were that bad. He's still bandaged up, but he is doing quite well.	Goldfinch. This guy was found last week in the middle of the road and not able to fly. He had no obvious injuries, so he is with for observation, but is getting pain medication in the meantime.	Great Blue Heron. This guy is missing a toe on his left foot (the leading theory is that it was bitten off by a snapping turtle) but he is very old and he seems to have a hard time getting around. He is also currently underfed so he gets force fed fish 3 times a day.	Peahen. Not a wildlife bird, but still pretty cool. We got her from the SPCA (I'm not sure why she was here). And we have just adopted her to a woman who has a few other peacocks & birds that she brings to us.
