My name is Elizabeth. I assemble Patti’s words into the posts that you read about the critters and what she is doing. I am penning this note in my words because what I want to say she will not do. I understand you wish Patti the best and, just by your reading these posts, you […]
Stating on March 3 that our season has turned to Spring may seem a bold move, but Mother Nature is in charge. The critters respond to her lead, and their actions tell me she has told them it’s Spring. The birds and mammals are nesting. Get ready to see babies in every species. Look around […]
After distilling about 8000 pages of notes from all the calls and critters I received in 2023 into a forty-six page report for the State and the Feds, I breathed a deep sigh of relief a few days ago. Every January I go through that process in order to renew my licenses. It is tedious, […]
I am happy to share with you that all three owls are eating, and the Great Horned Owl even has her attitude back. Thank you for all your well wishes. I appreciate your support. This time of year I am busy preparing my annual report for the state and federal governments, which I am required […]
As we head into the final curve of 2023 turning the corner into 2024, I am immersed in gratitude. Although 2023 had some lean months for donations, I appreciate every, single penny and drop of sweat each of you has given to help the critters. Thank you. Thank you for caring about the critters. Thank […]

A few weeks ago I was invited to a meeting of the Menomonie Lions Club to share information about Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release. Although I was reluctant to go because I was concerned I would have to drive home in the dark, I responded to their eager invitation by attending. I was glad I did. […]
This time of year we use tarps to prepare for winter. Eventually, tarps get tears, and those rips produce strings. Sadly the strings are deadly to birds. They get caught up in the strings and can’t fly. Sometimes they use the strings for nests, which is deadly to babies. Birds don’t recognize the danger of […]
Whether we like it or not, winter is coming. That realization has sent many of us into preparation mode. Wildlife is no different. While some are flying south, others are seeking shelter here, possibly near you. One of those we tend not to think about this time of year is bats. I can tell that […]
