Swift setwing on barbed wire by Vicki’s Nature

There were nine setwings in the yard on my sticks and along the back fenceline … in the late afternoon sun.

Please help: Monteen McCord is a wildlife rehabber who needs your help. She takes in all the owls and hawks that are found injured by folks like you and me. She has dedicated her life and her home to this (it’s an amazing place). She may lose her home, her critters and property if support doesn’t pick up SOON. If you can just send $10 please do it today. If you can send more – thanks! If you know of someone with the means to help in a big way, would you let them know about Monteen’s work? The animals she saves will thank you …
