CASTLE HAYNE, NC (WWAY) — Skywatch Bird Rescue says that baby season is coming to a close and that they are needing bug donations.

The group says that they are now getting in migratory warblers and other insectivores, including a common nighthawk who came in with a wing injury.

Skywatch explains that these are aerial hunters who specialize in catching insects on the wing with their massive mouths.

It’s also the time of year when they start seeing struggling young animals who are beginning to venture out on their own.

You can donate bugs for them by buying them off of their Amazon Wishlist here. Or you can donate bugs that can be dropped off or shipped to 3600 Lynn Ave., Castle Hayne, NC, 28429 anytime.
