New Source for Anwers to Wildlife Rehab FAQ's

Lake Erie Nature & Science Center's Wildlife Rehabilitation staff handles about 4,000 phone inquiries about injured, ill or orphaned wild animals every year. The Center has 24-hour voice-mail and all calls are returned as quickly as possible. Now, however, you can get immediate answers (even after hours) to some of the most common questions fielded by our staff. We've posted an online database of Wildlife FAQ's that addresses situations involving persistent woodpeckers, nesting ducks, and baby squirrels that appear "tame." FAQ's also tackle what to do if a bird repeatedly flies into your window or a wild animal takes up residence under your porch or deck. You'll also find general guidelines if you come across an injured animal or baby wildlife. Wildlife Director Dave Wolf says "We get these same questions each and every year, but, to some extent, each situation is different." Dave recommends you take the FAQ information and adapt it to your individual situation. As always, you can still call the Wildlife Staff for more specific advice (440) 871-2900 ext 204.
