Meet McGuire, a permanent resident Barred Owl and star foster parent!
McGuire had a tough go, a hit by car victim in 2001 who hit a second windshield before falling to the road. Luckily, he was brought into our hospital. He had suffered head trauma and two broken wings. His wings healed well, but his head trauma made him a permanent resident.

McGuire can often be seen on our education trail, sleepily resting on his favorite perch against the wall. When he isn’t enjoying the day in peace, he’s happily raising juvenile Barred Owls.

When baby Barred Owls arrive at our hospital, we place them in their nest box. When the baby peeps, McGuire hurries over to care for them. He then peeps for his roommate, Ally, who is always quick to co-parent. They’ve helped many babies get back to the wild. We’re so proud of our McGuire!

Sometimes you bring wild friends to us… sometimes they bring themselves! Say hi to our Barred Owl visitor, an exciting morning guest at the sanctuary.

It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! Thanks so much for following our raccoon videos this summer. Yesterday, we released our two largest groups back to the wild! We still have more in our care that are a bit younger, but, to our staff, this feels like a checkpoint on the summer. Raccoons are incredible animals. They’re very smart, highly social, and incredibly curious. Some of our staff liken their behavior to a mix between a dog, cat, and primate. They are a ton of work to care for because of the way they solve problems, but our staff do an incredible job. Big shoutout to our team today and a good luck send off to our patients! May they do incredibly well and never see our hospital walls again.

These Chimney Swift patients are never afraid to tell you how they feel. These are two juvenile patients. The back patient is fully feathered, while the front patient has its final pin feathers growing in on its face. These pin feathers grow in with a protective casing around them, which will fall or be groomed off to reveal soft feathers inside. These birds have an important job in the ecosystem. Do you know what their favorite snack is?

These patients have grown up so fast and they’re nearly ready to head back to the wild! At this point, determining if they’re ready for release comes down more to behavior than anything else. They’re at a great size and health for release. We now want to make sure that they’re set-up for success in daily life. That means seeing that they’re capable of doing all of the physical tasks a wild raccoon needs for survival and showing fear of humans. When all of this occurs, to the wild they go!

Happy Sunday!

UPDATE: in less than 5 hours, you all packed our fridges with beautiful, fresh produce!! Thank you all so much! We received multiple deliveries from stores that didn’t come with names, so if that was you, thank you!!

The animals have cleaned out our produce fridge! If anyone is out grocery shopping and can pick up a couple snacks for the critters, they’d be forever grateful ☺️ we are in need of squash, berries, melon, broccoli, corn, green beans, leafy greens (no spinach please), grapes, sweet potatoes, and apples.

We are currently caring for 200 squirrels, 50 raccoons, and 50 opossums in addition to our bird and reptile patients and they eat a lot!

We are open for drop offs 7 days a week from 8-5 at 105 North S Street! 🦝🐿️🦝🐿️🦝 thank you!
