An Afternoon at the Tufts Wildlife Clinic
Note: This interview with Maureen Murray was broadcast on WGBH radio, Boston’s NPR station for news and culture, on April 17, 2011!
Meet the patient, stoic Blanding’s Turtle, who arrived with a huge hole in her shell, yet managed to lay her eggs! And the red-tailed hawk who’s given a sonogram of its eyeball! Watch the satisfying release of another hawk, after it’s fully healed. And observe the staff of the Tufts University Wildlife Clinic, in Grafton Massachusetts, as they respectfully care for these wild animals.
In addition to the slideshow above, ThoughtCast speaks with staff veterinarian Maureen Murray, who has a special interest in turtle medicine.

As someone who writes on past environmental disaster, this picture makes me think, sadly, of the unbearable pictures of wildlife coming out of the BP oil crime.
