Wednesday, August 28, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon THINK WILD: New facility is a product of a love for animals Entertainment & Events Continued from page 5 7 PM in the backyard at August 30 Brent Alan & His Funky Friends $10 cover. Supervised children welcome. 121 W. Main Ave., Sisters | 7 pm | Beer • Wine • Food help it to get better,= Payton said. Payton and her mom kept hauling injured and sick ani- mals from the La Pine coun- tryside to the facility, and stayed to pitch in and do laun- dry, and mix bird food two days a week. It9s a little over 24 miles from her house to the facility one way. It wasn9t uncommon for her and her mom to make that 24-mile run in the middle of the night when someone delivered a sick or injured bird to the Johnston9s home. Then, in 2017, Payton started her injured wildlife hotline. She also began mak- ing special shoe-box sized shipping containers she used to transport her injured birds and other animals to the clinic. Payton said, <I don9t like spiders, but everything else is OK= 4 and <everything else= includes song birds, porcupines, rabbits, skunks, ducks and just about any wild animal she could get into the family car to haul to the clinic in faraway Bend. When the previous facility folded up, Payton discovered Elise Wolf9s Native Bird Care rehabilitation clinic in Sisters, and made arrangements to meet Elise in Bend to deliver sick or injured birds. Now Payton shares tips about what9s going on in the injured wildlife world via the Think Wild website: https://www.thinkwildco.org/ paytons-wildlife-tips Executive Director Michelle van Hilten stated that, <We have a part-time volunteer wildlife veterinary technician, and 10 certified veterinary technicians who will be doing volunteer rota- tions throughout the week. <We will be in regular communication with ODFW SUMMER MUSIC 13 AUG 28 WED Food Cart Garden at Eurosports Trivia Night 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sign up by 6:15 p.m. For additional information call Eurosports at 541-549-2471.
