Wildlife Encounters
Pictured above is Nora's daughter Harmony holding Howard the duck.
This is the time of year when wildlife is reproducing and babies are abundant. The thing to remember is that housing and attempting to rehabilitate wildlife that is either injured or orphaned is illegal if you are not a certified rehabilitator. There are many helpful resources if you find yourself in a situation where you have an animal you feel is in danger in its present situation. Here are some numbers you can call if you need assistance:
Department of Natural Resources wildlife hotline 1-877-463-6497
Gimme Shelter Wildlife Rehab. Union Bridge 301-538-2488
