A BIG THANK YOU to Convergint for your amazing day of service at WildCareOklahoma. We are so overwhelmed with gratitude for the level of support and enthusiasm of this team from Convergint OKC! They've been washing crates (dozens of them), deep cleaning commissary, clearing the fence line, and more!

Incidentally, the executive director's brother works for Convergint in Columbus, Ohio!

Thank you, Convergint!

WildCareOklahoma admits 600–700 hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons each year, making it one of the busiest raptor rehabilitation programs in the United States. What makes that accomplishment even more remarkable is that many facilities caring for similar numbers focus exclusively on birds of prey. At WildCareOklahoma eoklahoma, we provide this level of specialized raptor care while simultaneously treating thousands of other injured, orphaned, and sick wild animals every year.

Some of these raptor patients arrive with truly devastating injuries. The red-tailed hawk pictured here was rescued after becoming trapped in a lagoon containing toxic chemicals. Unfortunately, cases like this are becoming more common. This year, we have treated dozens of wildlife patients contaminated by industrial chemicals, petroleum products, and other hazardous substances.

Recovery is often lengthy and intensive, requiring pain management, multiple decontamination washes, treatment for burns and tissue damage, specialized nutrition, and weeks or months of rehabilitation before release.

As our patient numbers continue to grow, the demands on our facility are growing as well. While we are actively working toward larger infrastructure improvements, there is an immediate need where supporters can make a direct and meaningful impact. Right now, we urgently need large recovery crates for our raptor nursery and intensive care unit. These crates provide safe housing for injured hawks, owls, falcons, and eagles as they heal before moving to outdoor flight conditioning. Many of our existing crates have worn out after years of use, and replacing them would significantly improve patient care during one of our busiest years on record.

If you would like to help, please consider purchasing this crate: https://bit.ly/4fWD8yZ (select the 35.5" L × 23.8" W × 26.8" H size) and have it shipped to:

***PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO KEEP FAWNS FROM BEING TAKEN FROM THE MOTHERS.***

Every spring and early summer, white-tailed deer give birth and raise their young across Oklahoma. During this time, it is very common to come across a fawn lying alone in a field, wooded area, or even yards/near homes in urban and suburban areas.

The good news? This is usually completely normal.

Mother deer often leave their fawns hidden in a safe spot while they forage nearby. The fawn's best chance of survival is to remain exactly where its mother left it.

💚 If you care, leave it there. 💚

You can help by:
• Keeping dogs leashed or from roaming freely
• Avoiding mowing, weed-eating, or other yard work near the fawn for the day
• Giving the area plenty of space and minimizing disturbance

How can you tell if a fawn may truly need help? Look for these signs:
• Numerous ticks clustered around the eyes, face, and ears.
• A dirty fawn with visible wounds or dried blood that has not been cleaned.
• A fawn that is persistently following people, dogs, or other animals while crying out.
• The tips of the fawn's ears are curled back due to dehydration.
• A general, unkept appearance like it has not been groomed by mom.

If you observe any of these signs, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for guidance.

Please do not move a fawn before speaking with WildCare Oklahoma at 405-872-9338 or another licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Well-intentioned people sometimes accidentally "rescue" healthy fawns that are simply waiting for their mothers to return. This is sad for the baby and its mother.

Our goal is always to keep wildlife where it belongs—wild, free, and with its natural family whenever possible.

FLY INTO FRIDAYS at WildCareOklahoma!

Meet patient 26-4531, a female painted bunting. She was struck by a vehicle and brought to WildCare Oklahoma for critical care.

Painted buntings migrate from Mexico and Central America to Texas, Oklahoma, and other southern states to the east of Oklahoma, where they nest and raise their young.

During the breeding season, they depend heavily on insects for protein-rich nutrition, making pesticide-free habitats especially important. In the nonbreeding season, they shift to mostly seeds as their primary food source.

You can make a real difference for migratory birds this spring and beyond:
🐦Avoid pesticide use whenever possible
🐦Turn off non-essential lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. to reduce night-time collision risk
🐦Keep cats indoors
🐦Make windows bird-safe to prevent deadly strikes

Male painted buntings are famous for their vivid coloration, which includes a bright blue head, green back, and red underside, and for their melodic song. Unfortunately, this beauty has also made them targets for illegal capture and trade in parts of their wintering range including south Florida. In many communities in south Florida, Mexico, and Central America, having these birds is seen as a status symbol. These practices are illegal under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and remain a serious threat to wild populations.

Meet WildCareOklahoma 4,000th patient of 2026: a red-shouldered hawk nestling.

This young raptor was attacked by a dog and transported far from its nest before arriving at WildCare Oklahoma. Because the nest and parents could not be located, renesting was unfortunately not possible. Now, this baby hawk is receiving expert care from our veterinary and raptor rehabilitation teams as it begins its recovery journey.

Reaching patient #4000 this early in the year is unprecedented by several weeks and serves as a stark reminder of just how busy wildlife baby season has become.

Every patient who comes through our doors represents both a challenge and an opportunity: a challenge created by the many dangers wildlife face, and an opportunity for compassionate people to make a difference.

Mother’s Day can be bittersweet in wildlife rehabilitation. Every spring, WildCareOklahoma steps in for orphaned baby animals whose mothers were lost to car strikes, shootings, trapping and relocation, domestic dog and cat attacks, and other human-related causes.

Nothing can truly replace a wild mother raising her own young. But through the dedication of our staff, volunteers, donors, and supporters, these babies are given a second chance and their mothers’ legacies live on in every life saved, healed, and returned to the wild.

This Mother’s Day, we honor not only the mothers caring for young everywhere, but also the wild mothers whose work we are privileged to continue.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at .

Today is World Migratory Bird Day, and we can’t think of a better ambassador than WildCare Oklahoma’s first Mississippi kite patient of 2026.

These remarkable little raptors migrate from the heart of South America all the way to Oklahoma each spring to raise their young, and then they make the return journey with their offspring by mid- to late September.

Oklahoma is one of the premier nesting areas for Mississippi kites, and because of this, WildCare Oklahoma admits nearly 400 individual birds each year. Their favorite food is cicadas - one of the reasons we see so many in central Oklahoma.

World Migratory Bird Day is a reminder that even small actions can make a life-saving difference for migrating birds traveling from the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, and South America to their spring and summer nesting grounds.

You can help migrating birds by:
• Turning off exterior lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. — the peak migration window. TONIGHT IS A PEAK MIGRATION NIGHT! An estimated 342 million birds are predicted to be moving across the U.S. tonight through the four major flyways.
• Avoiding pesticides, which indiscriminately kill insects that migrating and nesting birds rely on for food.
• Making windows bird-safe by applying bird tape or painting white dots on the outside of reflective windows, spaced 2” x 2” apart.

Every light turned off, pesticide not used, and every safer window helps birds survive one of nature’s most extraordinary journeys.

Why are these The University of Oklahoma architecture and construction science students celebrating? Because after months of hard work, collaboration, creativity, and construction, they just completed their final project for the American School Design Build Project—and it’s now standing at WildCareOklahoma!

Since August 2025, these students have designed and built a first-of-its-kind Bat and Aerial Insectivore Enclosure for patients like bats and birds such as chimney swifts. Guided by professors Ken Marold and Bryan Bloom, they created a space that is not only functional, but beautiful—an innovative oval-shaped flight enclosure where animals can continuously fly and catch insects as they would in the wild as part of their pre-release conditioning.

Their work will directly improve the rehabilitation and release process for countless wild patients for years to come.

As a small thank you, we gifted each student a WildCare Oklahoma t-shirt—an incredibly modest token of appreciation for such an extraordinary contribution to our mission and infrastructure.

We could not be more grateful for this partnership and the impact these students have made for Oklahoma wildlife.

***Please share this post to help stop this kind of animal cruelty.***

This ornate box turtle was brought to WildCareOklahoma from Midwest City. A caring individual noticed the turtle and knew the paint on its shell was not likely a good thing for its health.

Painting a turtle’s shell whether the turtle is a pet or a wild animal is cruelty that causes serious harm.

A turtle’s shell is not “dead.” It’s a living part of their body. Despite being hard, it is sensitive to touch and pain. Turtles rely on sunlight (UVB light) absorbed through their shells to produce vitamin D. When paint covers the shell, it blocks this process, leading to metabolic bone disease causing deformities in the shell, jaw, and internal structures, and often a slow, painful death.

Paint also strips away a turtle’s natural camouflage, leaving them vulnerable to predators.

Furthermore, the paint itself is often toxic. These toxins can be absorbed through the shell and poison the turtle. The paint also keeps the shell from breathing and can trap harmful bacteria leading to illness.

The message painted on the shell seems like cruel irony in this light.

After several cleanings sessions conducted by the team at WildCare Oklahoma, all of the paint was eventually removed from this turtle.

You can paint a rock, your fingernails, a canvas, or your house - but never, ever paint a turtle.
