Two campers were surprised to find this Western Toad in their cooler upon arriving home. 🐸
Following observation and care at Wildlife Rescue to ensure the toad was healthy, they were driven back to the location where they were found and were safely released back to the wild.

Guess the bird feet! 🐦️👣
Although they swim like a duck, American Coots do not have webbed feet. Instead, they have lobes on their toes that help them kick through the water. The lobes fold back each time the bird lifts their foot, so that they can walk on dry land and on softer, mucky ground.

This #Anna'sHummingbird was caught in netting. She exhausted her energy reserves trying to escape and was left extremely lethargic and barely able to fly.
The bird was diagnosed with low blood sugar, given sugar water, and placed on oxygen overnight. She's slowly regaining her strength!

This Glaucous-winged Gull had just finished up their daily wound care session after being found stuck in a railing with some deep wounds under one wing.
Medical staff have been treating these wounds with daily cleanings, pain medications, and antibiotics to promote healing and prevent infections.

This Mallard seemed to have a stick impaled in his side. We had prepared to send him for surgery but the medical team found the stick was actually stuck around him, like a harness!
