Wildwoods
Description
Want to help us save lives? Visit https://wildwoodsrehab.org/support-wildwoods/ to donate. We are a 501(c)3 non profit. Thanks for your support! In 2006, founders Peg and Farzad Farr found an injured baby bird. They took it to a veterinarian who assured them the bird would be ok, and referred them to a local wildlife rehabilitator.
This experience inspired them to become wildlife rehabilitators themselves. During their first year, they took in just 40 animals.
In 2016, Wildwoods admitted over 1,250 animals and began construction on a new, specially designed facility, emphasizing the use of recycled materials and making as little impact on the environment as possible. Wildwoods continues to grow and relies on community support to help us rehabilitate and release our patients.

A tiny Saw Whet Owl was brought in this morning by Russ and the kids after being found on the ground next to the garage. We suspect he hit a window and sustained some serious head trauma. This 71 gram (2.5 oz) beauty is on his way to the Raptor Center in St Paul after we stabilized and medicated him. He is cozy in his towel "nest" to keep him from getting too dizzy and disoriented. Safe travels and continued healing to this little gem. Thanks to Elda for driving him down. :-)
