In 2004 we cared for 34 species of birds. The release rate reflects all birds admitted in one year and all birds released in this year. 19* DOA (Dead on Arrival) birds were deducted to arrive at the release rate. The statistics were calculated according to the National Standards and Guidelines for wildlife rehabilitators.
