(Sorry about the eyes!) Jeromy had to go and release a fox from a fence. The fox was caught by the leg between fence planks. Fox is looking good, other than a leg laceration, and will be released very soon.
Becky’s teal was released back to Memorial Park by volunteer Diana. There was a very happy teal reunion!
Melissa found this little horned lark with a broken wing. We’ll see how that heals.
I’ve published another book due to the frequency of phone calls here from people interested in becoming licensed wildlife rehabbers. This is a very subjective view-just my experience-and I hope it will help potential rehabbers understand what we do and make the decision of whether or not this kind of work is what they want to do, as well as how home-based wildlife rehab impacts rehabber quality of life. Available at Barnes & Noble, iUniverse, and Amazon.
We’ve been keeping pretty busy around here, with more intakes and more releases, and yep, the year-end paperwork is about to begin! Thank you to all of you that have helped make the year 2007 a year of growth and success!
The great-horned owls enjoy some shade created by the snow.
Nate and Apache can still see outside, since the snow is stuck on top.
Gone are the balmy days of sunshine and temps in the 70s of the last few weeks! The dusting of snow gives us a little bit of much-needed moisture and changes the dry, brown landscape to white and glittery, just in time for the holidays! The ski resorts are finally getting snow (2 feet of it yesterday!) With more snow coming tomorrow, we might just have to postpone some releases that were scheduled for tomorrow. But this is Colorado so who knows? We might have that balmy weather back by the end of the week!
