November 28, 2024 — One recent weekday morning, Chase Mattison spotted an injured bird on a Magazine Street sidewalk while walking his dog. It appeared to have hurt itself after flying into a nearby window.
It didn’t feel right to just stroll by, so Mattison scooped the bird up and brought it home before calling a veterinarian friend for advice.
“I put it in a box,” Mattison said. “Then, slowly but surely, it started moving around. A while later, all of a sudden, it just took off. I opened the window, and it flew away.”
