Keweenaw Wild Bird REC Our mission is to help local native birds through wildlife rehabilitation, school-aged education, and conservation projects.

We are a 501(c)3 non profit organization located in Hancock, Michigan, in the northern upper peninsula. Our mission is to provide wildlife rehabilitation to native migratory birds, with the goal of release back to the wild. We also focus on school-aged education programs and conservation projects benefiting local native birds. If you have a question about a potentially sick, injured, or orphaned b

ird, please call or text us rather than message on face book or instagram as messages will not be checked as quickly. 906-299-2149 A picture or video of the bird(s) you are concerned about is very helpful. We are permitted to rehabilitate any native migratory wild bird, excluding birds of prey (owls, hawks, vultures, falcons).

Success!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Headed out to breakfast and then was going to go scout potential families when this family literally crossed the road in front of us on the way out! Did a U-turn to grab the gosling and the family gladly took our youngster in!

Great start to Sunday!
🎉🎉🎉

Thanks to all that keep our mission flying! 🥰🥰

Wild Columbine for the hummingbird feeder win! Native plants are the gold standard to offer hummingbirds as nectar is just a small part of the equation. Did you know they eat a TON of tiny bugs? AND that those bugs only seek out native plants to reproduce and shelter on? So we need native plants even more than sugar water! Please consider adding more native plants to your landscape!
UP Native Plants Keweenaw Wild Ones and Kismet Gardens LLC are all great sources to purchase and research which natives are best. This hummingbird gives the native columbine two (very fast) wings up!

Do we have anyone handy out there that could do a project for us? We will pay for materials. We need 2 more brooders like this one. Basically, the inside part of the lid gets cut out, and hardware cloth cut to fit gets zip tied once holes are drilled. Holler if you can help!
Thanks much!!

Here we go!! 8 orphaned mallard ducklings observed without mom for 24 hours. Thanks to the awesome couple for capturing them and bringing them to to us from Spruce Lake in Michigamme!

Let’s just say mallards are the lil piggies of the duck world😆🐷 🦆
so they will eat a ton of food as we raise them to releasable age.

Donations are appreciated for the food costs!

Thanks to all that keep our mission quacking! ❤️❤️❤️

Back to the wild for this nuthatch!! Immediately got to work bopping around looking for insects! Recovery took a while due to a coracoid injury from a window collision. So glad he got a second chance at a wild life! ❤️🎉😀

Thanks to all that keep our mission flying!!
