Not a lot has happened in the last two weeks! But there always are a few things to share. Mister Bat, who came here in July after falling into a forgotten oil drip pan, was released! I gave him several gentle baths in mild Dawn dish soap, rinsing him well and drying him with the…
Over a month since I last posted, there’s so much to fit into one post! Enjoy the photos and journey! I’m not even sure where to start! I enjoyed the company of so many talented and capable volunteers this summer and have a few sticking around into fall. Madison Martin, Julia Thomas, Carleigh Hiller, Alyssa…
Releases, babies, more babies, plans derailed and the start of second season. In order to get this out so at least one post gets published, I’m going to dump out a bunch of photos with descriptions. Not my best post. But it’s a post. I had a sweet baby skunk for less than 24 hours-…
I am grateful for Wade and Joan Sheldon, Guy Spencer, Claire Elrod, and Amber Stokes Torrent and Family for providing wonderful release spots for some of the first round babies. Thank you Tanya and Olivia for assisting! A nice hole under a log to peek out from. Doing some fancy balancing. Oops, that didn’t work…
A Tribute to Sarah Sarah arrived in March of 2025, blind, walking in circles, and with a pouch full of babies. She had a safe place here to raise them, warm beds, good meals catered to her ability to eat, and the best life I could give her. She never liked me. That’s ok, I’m…
I have been busy doing my job- taking care of animals. Feeding, cleaning, moving around, weighing, releasing, playing with, and everything else. Updating the database daily (but not the blog). Logging weights and making changes to formulas and diet. It’s been overwheming. I think I have 70 animals but I haven’t run today’s report. My…
What a very active February and just 2 weeks into March it’s stayed busy. I attended the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association symposium in Baton Rouge and learned so much, met new friends, and reconnected with old ones. It was an honor to attend, especially as a scholarship recipient, and to spend time steeped in the…
Fall is in full swing and many animals have headed into hibernation or brumation. That doesn’t mean I get a break! It just gets quieter. Mr. Pigeon healed and went home! His caretaker said he immediately puffed up his chest and started stomping around like he was a big deal. When he arrived his foot…
I was fortunate to attend a Bat Blitz held in Savannah, GA with the joint Bat Working Groups of Georgia and South Carolina this past week. Headquarters and lodging were located at Wormsloe State Historical Site, whose recorded history goes back to the 1700s. This post is photo heavy and I hope you enjoy it!…
September is passing quickly but also slowly as every day is just another day of feeding, cleaning, watering, health checks and enrichment. The numbers are finally dwindling! The new vestibule entrance (finally!) This allows me to enter, lock the door behind me, then unlock and enter the main part of the enclosure. This is standard…
