A New Direction for the Wildlife Care Center

After bringing in more than a dozen experts—septic system designers and technicians, geotechnical engineers, soil scientists, planners, and permitters—we have made the decision to construct a new Wildlife Care Center at a new location instead of on the Cornell campus.

Patient of the Week: Pine Siskins and Salmonella

Every winter we get reports of Pine Siskins affected by salmonella. Pine Siskins are a flocking bird that frequent feeders during this season.

Patient of the Week: Tale of Two Tails, Cedar Waxwings Recuperate Together

We received two Cedar Waxwings from different locations: One of them had struck a window, and wasn’t able to fly and the other was caught by a cat, and had sustained multiple injuries. Thankfully they were both brought to our hospital soon after they were found, which gave them the best chance of survival and release.

Patient of the Week: Orphaned Douglas Squirrel Siblings Found Just in the Nick of Time

Three orphaned baby Douglas Squirrels were discovered on the ground amongst some brush, shaking and squeaking. They looked sick, and were obviously too young to be on their own just yet, so they were brought to our Wildlife Care Center by a concerned good Samaritan.

Patient of the Week: Band-tailed Pigeon Returns to the Wild

We received a young Band-tailed Pigeon after its home had been destroyed due to clear cutting. The fledgling was in no shape to be on their own yet, and still needed parents for nutritional support and guidance so we stepped in to provide that care until the Band-tailed Pigeon was old enough to take care of itself in the wild.

Patient of the Week: Striped Skunk Kits Found Alone and Afraid

Over the summer, we raised a mix-match litter of orphaned Striped Skunk babies in the Wildlife Care Center. Skunks are amazing animals, and despite their notorious stinky defense mechanisms, they are a favorite patient here at the center because of their shyness, complex behaviors, and let’s face it, irresistibly fuzzy faces.

Patient of the Week: Western Tanager Recovering After Window Strike

We received a Western Tanager after a good Samaritan found them on the ground, unable to fly but still alive after colliding with a window at their home. Unfortunately most window strikes are lethal, with an estimated 50-75% of birds dying from the collision.

Patient of the Week: American Mink’s Homecoming

When a good Samaritan showed up at our Wildlife Care Center with an orphaned baby American Mink in early June, we knew we would have to raise her. Fortunately, she was a quick study and she learned how to forage and hunt for herself very quickly.
