What If There Were an Oil Spill Here?
Pacific Wildlife Care—911 animal rescue and rehabilitation
Proclamation: Pacific Wildlife Care recognized for 30 Years of Non-Profit Service to Wildlife
On July 5, Pacific Wildlife Care received a nest of infant Merriam’s Chipmunks transported inadvertently in a dresser from Lake Tahoe.
Once these tiny visitors are old enough for release, they will be returned to their home. Chipmunks store food by digging small burrows in the ground and use their excellent sense of smell to find their stash at a later time. These 3 are enjoying a diet of nuts, fruits, seeds, and veggies. Chipmunks can store large amounts of food in their cheek pouches making themselves appear quite comical but this ability is essential to their survival. #pacificwildlifecare #chipmunk #wildlife #wildliferescue

A common injury we see in our clinic is entanglement with fishing line. That is exactly what happened to this juvenile Brown Pelican. She was untangled and her injuries are being treated by our vet. After spending some time recuperating indoors, she will be moved outside to a larger flight. You can help these iconic birds by picking up any fishing line you find on beaches and lake shores.
