\"least'sThe following story was shared with us by Tri-State Bird Rescue<\/a> in Delaware.<\/em><\/p>\n

Although the Leach\u2019s storm-petrel<\/a> population is estimated at more than 8 million breeding pairs, this inconspicuous species lives mostly at sea and nests in crevices and burrows on islands in the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Non-breeders, many of which are immatures, remain at sea year-round, far from shore. These seabirds are small in size, with an approximate length of 7 inches and a wingspan of 17 inches. Much of their lives still remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

We were somewhat surprised when we received one that was found in a parking lot \u2014 a highly unusual place for a storm petrel to be \u2014 and was transported to our clinic via several Tri-State volunteers.<\/p>\n

The bird was thin and feathers were contaminated with fish oil\/feces to the extent that the bird required a wash. Prior to the wash, the bird required a couple days of supportive care including hydration and gavage-feeding. The petrel was started on EmerAid Intensive Care Piscivore<\/a> initially but quickly graduated to hand-fed krill and silversides. After the wash, the seabird needed a few days of swimming in our outdoor pool to perfect his waterproofing. Once his waterproofing was perfect, we arranged for release.<\/p>\n

Many hands and a boat were involved in returning the Leach\u2019s storm-petrel back to the wild where it belongs \u2014 the Atlantic Ocean. We are incredibly grateful to our volunteer release team, Delaware River and Bay Cooperative (DBRC), and Tom Bennett. Thank you!
