Project Wildlife Triage Center Bursting with Birds!
 | |
Two black-crowned night heron chicks and an egg brought to the Central Triage Center. |
It's definitely wildlife "baby season" at Project Wildlife!
The Central Triage Center is full of birds of every size and type, from sparrows to hawks to scrub jays and bushtits. Volunteers are feeding baby birds every 30 to 45 minutes for 12 hours each day and there's always more coming through the door.
In fact, Project Wildlife has taken in nearly 600 animals so far this month, sometimes more than 100 in one day!
You Can Help!
Your donation can help feed baby birds and provide much-needed medicine and supplies.
Time on your hands? Help care for our wildlife patients by becoming a Project Wildlife volunteer!

A Celebration of Life:
Animal Ambassador Rusty
2000 - 2011
Project Wildlife's Animal Ambassadors play an important role in PW's education programs by educating the public on wildlife issues and conservation. These special animals touch lives while serving as physical links between education program participants and their wild neighbors.
After retirement, Animal Ambassadors live out their lives with a Project Wildlife caretaker. One such retiree, an American Kestrel named Rocky, recently passed away at his home with caretaker Leslie McCollum.

During his "working years" Rusty's sweet temperament and quick vocals made him a program favorite. After his retirement, Rusty spent time doing what he loved, including "sunbathing, grooming, bird watching, bathing, eating and watching the ocean" from his window perch.
"I am so privileged to have intimately shared life with Rusty," says Leslie. "I miss him already and of course I will forever be grateful to Project Wildlife for the many opportunities and experiences I've had which have become part of who I am."
Project Wildlife is also grateful for Rusty, and all his fellow Animal Ambassadors past and present, who give so much to our community and ask so little in return.
