@bradshk14 recently went behind the scenes @Wildlife_Center and @PeninsulaHumane to learn about the staffers and volunteers who take on the daunting task of nursing sick, injured and orphaned animals back to health and releasing them back into the wild. thesixfifty.com/the-call-of-th…

STEM fun continues all week long! TUESDAY, learn about science and filmmaking with @scicomlab, participate in a citizen science challenge, and check out "Protegiendo Y Rehabilitando Aves de Rapiña Locales", a Spanish language event about local Bay Area raptors and wildlife!

It's 2/22/22– TWOsday! As the months go on, you will see pairs of parents staking out new den sites, and more juvenile wildlife out and about. If you have any questions about local wildlife activity in these coming busy months, feel free to call us at 408-929-9453

WCSV has received an influx of calls regarding coyote sightings. Our goal is to ensure the safety of our wild neighbors and provide coexisting tips to our community. If you have any questions or concerns, please call us during business hours 408-929-9453 wcsv.org/our-activities…

This year's Avian Disease Prevention Program season was a success! There were no botulism outbreaks & we rescued a few sick gulls. We captured this scraggly gull & brought it to @Wildlife_Center. The 2nd image was taken by WCSV after successfully treating & releasing the gull!

A group of 4 dedicated corporate volunteers from @flyarcher helped reunite kennel halves with their missing partners, and their long-lost doors. Our crates thank you, the animals thank you, and most of all we thank you for helping us to rehabilitate local wildlife!

This year we've received 230 raptors - we expect this number to rise as the Bay Area sees more rain and high winds. If you see a downed raptor, don't handle, feed, or attempt transport! Call WCSV or your local animal control for help. More info: wcsv.org/our-activities…

We appear in @whatyoulovepod hosted by @juliekrose! Listen to Laura Hawkins talk about when you should trim your trees, what to do if you find sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife, why wild animals make terrible pets, and more! Listen now here: bit.ly/LWYLep50

Due to facility maintenance, our phones are down - staff will still be in the hospital, so please continue bringing animals to our facility. Ring our doorbell when you arrive and someone will be out to assist. If you have any questions, text our Google Voice (408) 831-1675.

Officer Bitonti was dispatched to an injured hawk call this morning. He was able to safely capture the hawk and transport it to @Wildlife_Center where it will be cared for by their awesome staff. We’re always happy to help any community member in need, including our wildlife.

@PLUMPKIN That definitely sounds like a Northern Mockingbird!

I believe a Northern Mockingbird has moved into the tree in front of our house. Yes, it's loud and sings all night. Enjoying it because who knows when another bird will move in. Thoughts on the species, @wildlife_center?

Our volunteers tirelessly tackle the toughest tasks, cleaning, raising countless orphans, and so much more! Equally important are all of our off-site volunteers, enabling us to provide the best possible care for sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife. You truly make a difference!
