[ILL-L] A Friday "silly" question

[Barbara Jean Jones]

I brought a pileated woodpecker chick (had about half her feathers and 
was the size of a large robin) to work for a day because wind had blown 
her tree home down the evening before, and she needed to be fed. I 
called the reference librarian on duty that night, and she found 
information to feed the chick moistened dry catfood every 20 minutes 
during daylight hours which I did, and my husband built a large bird 
box the next day and put it up and dropped in the chick (per 
instructions from a nearby nature center), and the mother found her 
within 10 minutes. She fledged soon after.

One woman brought 3 baby skunks that she was bottle feeding to work one 
day, but they didn't visit the interlibrary loan office.

Otherwise just cats and mice during construction.
