Bats found in buildings cannot be placed outside during late fall to early spring. They should be in a state of torpor, if awake, they likely need help.
Contain the battle in a pillowcase, place in a cardboard box and contact a local wildlife rehabber.
Please DO NOT put them outside!

Virginia Opossum's have a hard time in the cold Ontario Winters. Luckily for this little one he was brought to Foster Forest Wildlife where he is being rehydrated, and slowly fed easily digested nutrition to avoid "refeeding" syndrome.

All I want for Christmas is a home full of dogs! Specifically dogs whose family are away. We will be their family for the holidays!

Please share and help spread the word!

Kakisa, Northwest Territories, has one road in and out. Twice in a decade, wildfires completely cut it off from the rest of the territory, with evacuation orders delivered by hand. It is a situation that residents don’t want to be in again. thewalrus.ca/tiny-town-wildfi...

So proud of my fierce cousin Kathryn Marshall and her tireless efforts to hold stakeholders accountable for allowing convicted sexual assault criminals to act with impunity.

Grieving your parents is supposed to be a natural life experience. Yet it hurts so deeply. I find myself looking for messages from them everywhere. I fight the reality that they are gone. Grief bursts are intense. Can I adapt?

Learning how to be grateful during a year with profound loss. That's flex 💪 🙏😊

I am going to miss the hummingbird antics when they leave.
Sitting under the feeder to film.

PSA: wash your feeders in soap and water once a week. If very hot you may need to put new sugar water in twice a week.
