Tri County Wildlife Care

Tri County Wildlife Care "A world where wildlife and people thrive together.” What does Tri County Wildlife Do? Sometimes x-rays or surgery are required.
(1)

Injured, orphaned or displaced wildlife are brought to us by fish and game officials, or by someone who has found or rescued an animal. The animal is examined at the TCWC center and a course of treatment is determined. Some surgeries are generously donated by the doctors and staff at local veterinary offices and some treatments take place in our TCWC center or with trained wildlife rehabilitators.

The wildlife patient begins its recovery and rehabilitation indoors in a quiet place. As it progresses, it is moved outdoors to a cage for more exercise and a more natural habitat. We do everything we can to ensure that these beautiful creatures are returned to the wild.

We are so thankful to people like Scott and Katie Miles who chose to STOP when they saw this car hit Barn Owl. They have a vineyard and owl boxes and know these are some of their hardest working residents. This beautiful bird has head trauma and we hope that with fluids, warmth and pain meds that she will make a full recovery and return with Scott and Katie to Lodi. Barn owls can eat thousands of rodents as they raise their babies and some even go to nest twice and produce a second clutch of owlets. Please, if you see an animal in distress and can safely stop, do so. Many times critters can survive if given the chance and care. Thank you for supporting Tri County Wildlife Care and for your kindness to our wildlife neighbors.

San Joaquin County Sheriff Animal Services Officer Haggard brought an opossum to us today that was in desperate need of help. We realized right away that she needed care from Dr. Alison Pillsbury at Acorn Hills Animal Center because she had heavy plastic line imbedded in her skin. In their great care, she was freed from the line, wounds cleaned and debrided and stitched. We believe this young opossum will make a full recovery. Please, if you see trash that can harm animals, PICK IT UP! We are not sure if this was intentional or not, but heavy line is just so dangerous for many types of wildlife. Thank you for supporting Tri County Wildlife Care and for your kindness to our wildlife neighbors!

We took in two unusual owls from the roads this week. One is a Spotted Owl and one a Barred Owl. These birds are locked in a battle for survival. The Spotted Owl is disappearing due to habitat loss of old growth forest and now they face competition for that habitat from Barred Owls too. Barred Owls are from the east and are expanding their territory because they are more aggressive and have a more diverse diet. In some areas Barred Owls have been culled and the Spotted Owls have made a comeback where this has been implemented. This is certainly controversial and these owls from a distance look remarkably alike, both dark eyed and beautiful. Thank you for supporting Tri County Wildlife Care and for your kindness to our wildlife neighbors. Special thanks to Heather who drove a very long way to transport. The Spotted Owl is pictured first and Barred Owl second.

Meet our WILDLIFE HERO for August, the Gray Fox. The Gray Fox is an amazing wild dog known for its unique ability to climb trees, its beautiful gray coat with rust trim and its adaptability to many environments. Gray Foxes have semi-retractable claws that let them climb trees and jump from branch to branch. These canids have a cat-like agility with rotating forearms and elliptical pupils that show their feline likeness. These little foxes average 7-9lbs though they appear much larger and they generally will not bother pets. They are omnivores eating small rodents, rabbits, insects and fruits and berries. When breeding, they will intentionally move closer to humans to protect their kits. They know that their young are vulnerable to coyotes and intentionally move closer where coyotes usually will not go. Once breeding season is over, they will disperse. These heroes are so beneficial and beautiful too. Thank you for supporting Tri County Wildlife Care and for your kindness to our wildlife neighbors.

Thanks to Liza in Stockton, this little squirrel will get a second chance at life in the wild. This baby went to Rayanna for initial care and it is an unusual melanistic Eastern Grey Squirrel. This is a genetic mutation causing the fur to be dark. Melanism is a condition that leads to the overproduction of dark pigment, This can be an advantage because the dark color absorbs more heat helping the squirrel to stay warm during cold winters. This color variation is rare and seen in only about 1 in 10,000 squirrels. Nino is caring for this little squirrel now and once stable it will be combined with others to grow up wild and free. Thank you for supporting Tri County Wildlife Care and for your kindness to our wildlife neighbors.

Please call 209-283-3245 before you intervene with a fawn. Most fawns are losing their spots and following mom and do not need our help this time of year. The rescuers of this fawn did everything right. They called when they found a tiny fawn lying by the side of the road quietly. We had them leave the baby. They went back and checked and the fawn was getting up and onto the road again and again. Weighing in at only 3 1/2lbs, thin and with severe diarrhea, it did need help. Our larger fawns are enjoying the browse if mostly oak and grape leaves that kind friends are bringing. Thank you for supporting g our growing fawns and for your kindness to our wildlife neighbors.

Please while out in nature, close up and clean up! This is the second Barn Owl that was found in a toilet in a park. This may seem odd, but it does follow their instincts to get out of the sun, get out of the heat and go into confined spaces to hide and sleep. If there is a toilet seat cover, please lower it when you leave and if there is a door, please close it to exclude many types of wildlife. Even better when you hike and recreate, take a bag and pick up what others may have left to leave wild spaces better than you found them. This girl got 2 baths to remove any dangerous chemicals and she is now in a flight cage.
