Oscar the neighborhood squirrel
Well Its not a bird but I saved another one of Gods creatures, my neighbor brought over a baby squirrel saturday night we had quite the storm that day and it must have gotten blown out of its nest. He is so cute, Dave wrapped him in a towel and sat by fireplace to get him warmed up. I gave him some water with honey to get the little guy hydrated. I put a towel in a small cage then put in another towel as a nest, he crawled under it and snuggled right down for the night. Poor guy was exausted, Dave named him Oscar (I assume middle name is Mayer lol) I took him to the SSS they have several amazing people who do nothing but take care of babys, (birds, squirells, racoons ext) they truly are angels, its very time consuming taking care of baby wildlife, the have to be bottle fed every few hours so you have to take them with you everywhere you go. I just did not have the time for it, plus my dogs thought it was a snack. MMMMM squirrel lol. Well today Im off to rescue more birds ( and whatever else pops up) So wish me luck and pray for me. Sometimes I have to put myself in harms way to rescue, crawling through mangroves and woods, jumping in lakes, rivers, creeks, retention ponds and of course the Gulf Of Mexico. Last month I swam out to rescue a pelican who had a hook with a plastic shrimp stuck in the back of its head, it was quite a way out, the 6th pole on the Redington Pier. I got a guy to take me out in a sail boat then jumped in and got the bird. The next day in the exact place I was swimming, some guy caught a 500 pound bull shark. Very frightning to think about it actually as Bull Sharks are very aggressive. God had my back that day for sure. Well off to work, blessings to all of you.
