Last week, someone in downtown Saskatoon noticed a tiny bat struggling in the cold outside City Hall. With temperatures dropping and snow on the ground, this little one was shivering and unable to cope with the weather.

❄️ First snowfall, first snowy owl call! Billy rescued it with no eyes on the bird. Sadly, it had a serious wing fracture and was humanely euthanized. Thanks to The Eric S. Margolis Foundation & supporters, WRSOS receives no government funding.

🌾 Preparing Your Yard for Winter Wildlife
As the temperatures drop, it’s natural to want to help wildlife adjust to the changing seasons. Small changes in your yard can make a big difference — but some well-intentioned actions, like using heated bird baths, can do more harm than good.

Leave the Leaves 🍁
Before you rake it all away, remember: leaf litter is more than yard debris! It provides shelter for insects, toads, salamanders, and small mammals throughout the winter.
Leave a natural corner in your yard — it’s a simple step that makes a big difference for wildlife.

Bats Are on the Move! 🦇
As the nights grow cooler, bats across Saskatchewan are shifting gears. Some are heading to hibernation sites, while others may be migrating to warmer areas. You might start noticing them more around buildings or lights as they navigate the changing season.

An RCMP officer in Christopher Lake spotted an injured pelican and alerted us. With advice from a Conservation Officer, WRSOS was contacted. Volunteer Penny swiftly secured the pelican for treatment. Thanks to vigilant community members and devoted volunteers, wildlife like this can heal.

Bird–glass collisions are a leading human-related cause of bird deaths today. Millions of birds are injured or killed yearly after hitting windows, especially during migration.

Last week, our WildLine responded to a call about an injured American Bittern found at an auto parts yard in Regina.
Bitterns are secretive marsh birds, but when threatened, they defend themselves with sharp beaks and bold postures.
