You can help migrating birds at home by simply turning off unnecessary outdoor lights at night. This helps birds safely navigate their journey without becoming disoriented by artificial light.

LIGHTS OUT! 250 million birds are expected to fly south across the central and eastern United States for their fall migration. Here in Pennsylvania, we can expect around 15 million birds to fly through. A busier night is expected Friday night into Saturday morning, as conditions turn calmer across Pennsylvania and the Northeast. Stay tuned for updates!

Mama opossum has been healing since she was admitted with some pretty serious wounds. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in this case has been the growth of her surviving baby! From being so small with eyes barely opened to growing into a little wide-eyed puff ball, this little family continues to show us the strength and resilience of their species ♡

Patient Update ♡

Remember the red-tail hawk we rescued from the side of 219N between Somerset/Cambria county? We are thrilled to announce its release back to the wild! 🌲

This incredible bird made a remarkable recovery following treatment and consistent care under the supervision of our dedicated staff and volunteers at Wildlife Works, Inc. After careful monitoring and ensuring capable flight, this hawk made its valiant return to the wild!

The release of injured, sick, or orphaned wildlife is what fuels our passion here at Wildlife Works. We could not do what we do without the support of our community. ❤️

From all of us at Wildlife Works, welcome home, buddy ♡

🚨 Graphic injury present in the second photo. We know this may be troubling to see, but it’s important to remember that wildlife rehabilitation is not always sunshine and rainbows. We are committed to giving this sweet family the best chance at healing and survival ❤️‍🩹

Take a look at our sweet momma opossum and her little babies! 🥹 This brave momma came to us with some significant injuries along her back. While the cause of injury is unknown, we know that the burn wound is through all of the layers of the skin and needs a lot of medical management. Unfortunately, one of her babies did not survive. We have consistently seen two other babies and they are definitely little fighters! 💪🏻

In cases like these, we stay hands-off with the babies, unless intervention is absolutely necessary. We provide full rehabilitative care to the mother while allowing her to fulfill her maternal duties. By treating her wounds, preventing infection, and providing adequate food and water, she is able to sufficiently feed her babies so they can all grow up big and strong!

Please donate to help us continue to care for our wildlife, like this opossum family ❤️
