Dig it, three oddball late-summer orphan baby birds, clockwise from left: gray catbird, American goldfinch, song sparrow. Each one was a loner that needed a buddy so we stuck them together. Baby songbirds require a volunteer staff to feed 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, a huge time and labor commitment, so you have to either do it right, or not at all, impossible to do while closed down.
