As birdwatchers, we love helping birds be it though supporting conservation or educating others. On some occasions however, we become more than just stewards and become caretakers for the birds with which we come in contact. We all have stories of coming across injured birds, be it from a cat bite, window strike, or nest falling out of the tree. In these moments our adrenaline takes over. We want and wish to do everything we can to help the injured animal and give it the best shot at being released. This presentation is to be a tool to help you with that process. Dr. Bunting will discuss the common injuries, triage and transportation, personal protective equipment, and other ways to support the health and safety of local birds.

Dr. Nolan Bunting is a veterinarian who works with various wildlife and domesticated animals. He has trained with zoos, aquariums, rehabilitation centers, and specialists to support wildlife and one-health initiatives. He graduated veterinary school from Colorado State Universi-ty, and received a master's degree in conservation and wildlife forensics from the University of Florida with a focus on high and low velocity projectile injuries. He spends his time leading field trips for Northern Colorado Bird Alliance, digging dinosaur bones, and volunteering for emergency response teams for veterinarians in Colorado.
