Ever since I discovered birds tangled in tarp strings, I am acutely aware of getting rid of frayed tarps with strings flapping in the wind. 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 […]
When Mom does not return to the nest for whatever reason, baby squirrels are quick to seek help by leaving the nest and running to something big. Often they run up to children. If that happens to your children or grandchildren, do not be surprised. Be careful, though, because baby squirrels think everything is a […]
This year has been a crazy newborn season. I have been answering forty or more calls every day. These calls take an enormous amount of my time and energy. Most of them concern one subject; callers think they have discovered an abandoned baby. When I tell them, “Wildlife moms do not abandon their babies,” many […]

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 […]
I scout out and think through every release prior to making it. I want to leave the wildlife in a place that fits its physical situation. When I do the actual release, I try to release it near where it was found. That gives it a chance to be back with a mate. Sometimes that […]
