Imagine this, you have an old brush pile and when conditions are
right, you set it on fire. Standing around watching the flames you
notice something moving, running out of the fire, on fire itself. They
thought it was a lizard but it turned out to be this Calif. Ground
Squirrel. Just 4 weeks old, it was touch and go for quite some time,
one ear, tail and toes singed but here he is 6 weeks later exploring
his outdoor pre release cage. He should be released back into the
colony in a couple of weeks.

Check Your Burn Piles
Here is the same ground squirrel that came out of the
burn pile on fire. This is just before it was released.
When the trap was opened it shot down the hole and
not a peep was heard. Hopefully the rest of the colony
is able to recognize it even though it’s been gone so
long.

The Follow up.
This Red-shouldered Hawk was hit by a car and had a
broken bone in her wing. The wing has mended but
there was also damage to her tail feathers and we may
have to wait for a feather molt before she can be
released.

A volunteer is holding the Red-shouldered Hawk just
before releasing her. The hawk came in at the end of
March w/ a broken bone in the wing and bent and
broken tail feathers. The fracture healed nicely. It
has taken until now for the feathers to molt and
regrow. The hawk flew free today.
