Any bird that has collided with a window needs to be taken to a wildlife rehabilitator asap. Even if you think the bird may be ok and they try to fly away, they may experience internal bleeding or brain swelling during the next 24 - 48 hours that needs to be monitored and treated by a professional. Please call your local wildlife rehabilitation center immediately for assistance or if you’re in SLO county call us at 805-543-9453.I'm already starting to see people posting images of "tame" songbirds that are sitting on the ground, eyes partly closed - these are often window strike victims who've hit glass on their first migration south to their wintering grounds.

Today is #WorldLizardDay! A day set to appreciate all the different lizard species of the world. Lizards can be found on every continent except Antarctica. They are beneficial to the ecosystem and are fascinating to observe. At PWC, we also treat reptiles including many of the lizards species found here on the central coast.
Here’s a look at some cool species you may see around the US and even one here locally in SLO county:

Photo 1 and 2: Brown Anole, Anolis sagrei, displaying its dewlap. Near Lihue on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii.
Photo 3: Coastal Horned Lizard (juvenile) Phrynosoma blainvilli. Los Osos, California.
Photo 4: Spinytail Iguana (Cternosaura hemilopha) on Rock near El Triunfo, Baja California Sur, Mexico.
