Wildlife Care Center Research and Statistics
The Wildlife Care Center provides a huge repository of data on the problems affecting urban wildlife populations. The 3,000+ animals we treat each year can tell us much about what we need to do to better live with urban wildlife.

- Wildlife Care Center Intake Summary 1995-1999: Follow this link to see the causes of injury the brought animals to our care center between 1995-1999.
- Lillian Post Eliot’s 1944 Report to the Audubon Board Of Directors regarding birds treated at the “Bird Clinic.” Read about rehabilitation at Portland Audubon 60 years: remarkably similar to the problems we see facing wildlife today!
- Banded Birds: The Wildlife Care Center occasionally receives banded bird into the center. These bands can provide valuable information on migration, behavior and life spans of birds.
- Long-billed Hawk Syndrome: In April, 2006, an adult Red Tailed Hawk with a severely overgrown, rotten beak presented to the Wildlife Care Center. This bird was the Wildlife Care Center’s first known case of Long-bill Hawk Syndrome. Birds with this syndrome have abnormal, uncontrolled growth of the upper and/or lower bills.
