Umpqua Wildlife Rescue

Umpqua Wildlife Rescue UWR's licensed wildlife rehabilitators rehabilitate injured and orphaned wildlife and return them to the wild. Meetings are open to the public.

Call our hotline for the time and place of the next meeting. Founded in 1988, Umpqua Wildlife Rescue's state and federally licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators rehabilitate many wild animals every year, returning them to life in the wild. Volunteers run our hotline, work on our newsletter, rescue and transport wild animals, organize and run fundraisers, and offer educational presentations in the community.

This Great Horned Owl came in with a slight head injury. After time in a flight cage and successful live prey testing, he was ready to go. Unfortunately, he missed breeding season for Great Horned Owls, so he will have to wait until next year to have a nest.

A Bald Eagle was rescued, unable to stand. On examining the xrays, our vet, Dr. Tammy Eichmann, discovered bruising around the liver and lungs, probably caused by being hit by a car. New rehabber Tessa held the hooded bird for treatment. But after a day ithe eagle stopped eating. Her last chance was with Cascades Raptor Center which handles many eagles. They did their best, but the injuries were too great and she was struggling to breathe. The kindest thing was to euthanize her.

We have found with internal injuries that most animals die within the first three days. If they make it past that, they have a good chance of recovery.

It's been a while since we've had one of these tiny owls in. A Northern Saw-Whet owl. This little raptor likely hit a window and was unable to fly. After a week of kennel rest, he has been moved to a flight cage. He can now fly again and will soon be released where he was found.

We want to thank Pacific Power for their recent donation. This will make a huge impact on the wildlife patients UWR rescues.

Pacific has been an incredible resource for animals affected by power poles. They are always quick to help when we need them.

A Belted Kingfisher was found on the ground in a gas station parking lot. Probably hit by a car, it luckily had no breaks. Time and lots of fish allowed it to recover from a head injury. It happily flew off down the river.

To our surprise, another Great Horned Owl was in the tree and immediately started hooting. The baby cried back. It was obviously the mother owl! Such a perfect release.

A fluffy baby owl was found in a cemetery in April. After careful practices to keep it wild, it was ready for release. We were happy to see it fly up into a tall tree. But the best part is in the next video.
