This is the best summary I could come up with:


Civil rights lawyer Catherine Sevcenko spends her spare time taking in and rehabilitating injured birds in Alexandria, Va.

The Wildlife Rescue League of Falls Church, Va. contacted Sevcenko and asked if she could take in a rare white fledgling crow that had been brought in by a good Samaritan last month.

The man said he’d rescued the bird in Manassas, Va. after he saw a group of adult crows “dive bomb” and attack the rare fledgling, Sevcenko said.

With help from volunteers, she estimates that Diva Crows has rehabilitated more than 2,000 birds, including blue jays, robins, woodpeckers, cedar waxwings and cardinals.

Although the bird could no longer fly and couldn’t be released after he had healed, she found a home for him at the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, N.Y.

Sevcenko said two veterinarians told her that Hope can’t be released in the wild, so she plans to look for a wildlife education facility that can take her in.
