Hello Joey,
I live over by Lanes Cove and, while walking my dog tonight, came across an injured Northern Gannet up on sunset point. As I have never seen one of these great sea birds around here I was hoping there was a wildlife rehabilitation clinic that would be willing to treat and hopefully re-release this striking creature. My original plan was to bring her to the Danvers Animal Hospital which treats injured wildlife, but the staff told me that, with their limited resources, it was unlikely they could rehabilitate this type of bird and it would more than likely be euthanized . I was told that there was a Wildlife Clinic in Weymouth but they will accept injured wildlife only between the hours of 10-2. With my work schedule I will be unable to make it there tomorrow and my only other option would be a very long drive to Tufts Wildlife Clinic out in Grafton after work. I was hoping that with your help I may be able to find someone interested in making the trip down to Weymouth tomorrow to give this bird (a rare sight around here) a chance. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas you have in this matter.
Thank you

Tufts sometimes can come to pick them up as well. They have come to my office to pick up injured wildlife before. Good luck and thanks.
