Summary
In late May and early June 2015, Beaver Island forum participants sought a rehabilitation placement for a wounded tern being cared for locally. The thread records discussion of wildlife sanctuaries and a tentative plan to transport the bird, nicknamed “Bernie,” to Howell Nature Center for time in a flight pen and evaluation by a wildlife veterinarian.
Evidence limits
The forum documents the rescue effort and proposed referral, but not the bird’s eventual transport, treatment, survival, or release. The linked social- media photograph is not part of the held archive evidence.
