Wildlife 911

Today we attended a workshop at the Nature Center called Wildlife 911. It told us of what to do in case of an emergency with animals, and what not to do. In most cases they should be left alone. We also learned about the closest rehabilitation center, what types of animals they accept, what they do, etc.

We also got to meet an oppossum that was being rehabilitated!

And we learned a little about them as well. Here, the speaker is showing us an oppossum's skull.

We also learned what volunteer rehabilitators do, and how we can be involved as well. Maybe someday.

After the class we enjoyed watching some birds in the bird watching room. They have speakers set up so we can hear them, too.

We saw a lot of Cardinals, male and female, as well as Carolina Chickadees, a White-throated Sparrow, a Brown-headed Cowbird, Eastern Bluebird, and a male and female Downy Woodpecker.
