This young swan was getting roughed up pretty bad by its parents. we're not entirely sure why but it was getting worse each day. The homeowners who were observing this odd behavior were quite saddened, so it was in everyone's best interest to intervene.

Tern rescued from Dayton Island by a kayaker. She called WROEH when she found the injured bird and was given instructions on how to safely secure and transport the Tern to the mainland. She did a great job and was met by Dell as she came onto shore.
It's great to see more and more folks helping our wildlife. If you ever come upon an injured animal and you're not sure what to do, you can ALWAYS call 844-SAV-WILD, Press 0 to report an emergency, and someone will call you right back. In fact, call and listen to the menu of options at 844-SAV-WILD and become familiar with them, so we can be there to help when you and the animals need us.

July 4th: Dell cuts plastic fibers from the leg of a robin who got tangled up in a high tree and was hanging upside down.
Joshua Brussell and Matthew Classens get close to a swan to check it for injuries, after it was reported to have been in a rough territorial dispute with another cob. No injuries on either swan after a good check, and a great effort by the volunteers. Cliff and Lisa Blinderman were also there with shore nets, and Joe Connelly ready for transport if necessary. It wasn't.

One day of Rescue & Transport - June 24, 2020
Thanks to ALL the wildlife rescue and rehab volunteers. WROEH has been busy all spring and it's flowing right into summer. Just today we've had several rescues and transports and the day is only half over. Thanks to our transport teams and rescue responders. We were even able to help rescue a beautiful little kitten that fell into a storm drain (with the amazing help of a passer-by named George Watson) and responder Valinda Valcich. Great teamwork. We got baby bunnies to our expert friend Chrissey, a baby muskrat named Maury to the rehab center with 4 opossum joeys whose mom got hit by a car.

Deer Rescue EH Village - Nov. 26, 2019 - Large Buck Entanglement
Rescued by WROEH - Nov. 6th, 2019 - Young Swan in Distress
November 5, 2019 - A second deer with a leg injury is reported at the shoreline just east of Atlantic Avenue beach. I respond immediately and meet photographer Doug Kuntz at the scene. It's pouring rain so Doug takes only a handful of photos before assisting me in the rescue. The short film below covers the entire process. Thanks to Doug and the homeowner on the bluff who saw and reported the distressed deer. The end result is also one for celebrating.
Update: November 4th 2019
The Beach Buck is doing much better than the day he was rescued at the shoreline of the ocean a couple weeks ago.
He's getting along much better with only three legs. A healed fracture in the fourth disabled leg shows no signs of infection as was confirmed by the vet when initially rescued. It's a process of acclimation but, the deer of East Hampton face so much adversity, that a simple limb loss is in most cases easily accommodated. The shot below shows the Beach Buck in the brush, quite healthy looking.
