On borrowed wings: Wildlife rehab nurses back to health

SENTINEL STAFF WRITER
Susan Campbell has seen it all — the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful.
As supervisor for the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals here, she has helped take care of hundreds of wounded animals.
She's seen the red-tail hawk whose wings were clipped by an owner who got too possessive; the great-horned baby owl left for dead by his mother for inexplicable reasons; the turkey who was found living inside a box in somebody's house — a box in which he could barely stand up.
They've all been taken under the wing of the rehabilitation center here. Some of them will be released back into the wild — always a ceremonious yet bittersweet moment for the workers who tended to them day in and day out.
