Mount Vernon Songbird Sanctuary, formerly The Recovery Wing, Inc., is located in Southington, Connecticut. It is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of migratory songbirds. It fulfills this mission through education, rehabilitation and preservation of their habitat. Jayne is a state and federally permitted wildlife rehabilitator and has cared for thousands of songbird since 1997.
Her expertise is with warblers, flycatchers, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, chimney swifts, swallows and killdeer. Jayne has taught The Basics of Songbird Rehabilitation for many years at the State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection exam and all day training seminar for new rehabilitators.
Jayne also teaches wildlife rehabilitators at wildlife conferences. She is past vice president and president of the Connecticut Wildlife Rehabilitators Association. She was also sub-permitted to band and was involved with the banding and study of vagrant hummingbirds in the Northeast.
I will also take a look at what rare birds have been in the area and perhaps take a look back in time at birding of yesteryear. Joe Warren from sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited in Darien, CT, and Bedford Hills, N.Y., will also join us as usual to educate us about backyard birding.
It promises to be an excellent and exciting show. Be sure to tune in this Sunday at 1 p.m. As always thanks for supporting Bird Calls Radio.
