Migration Alert: Over 470 million birds are forecast to fly across the eastern Midwest tonight. Turn off all nonessential lights from 11 PM to 6 AM to keep them from becoming disoriented. More than a 1B birds die in glass collisions every year. Discover ways to help them: bit.ly/stopbirdcoll...

Birds are migrating! Help them get where they're going by going lights out, making sure your windows are effectively treated to prevent bird collisions, and keeping cats inside, on leashes, or in catios so exhausted birds can feed with more safety. #birds #wildliferehab #conservation

The Basic Course is now Foundations of Wildlife Rehabilitation! The content has not changed, but we believe Foundations better reflects the purpose and substance of the course. We made this change because "basic" might imply the course is only for beginners, when it is for all wildlife rehabbers.

This why you don't have to panic if you find a young squirrel that has fallen from its nest! If you see an injury, contact a wildlife rehabber. Otherwise, stay back for a bit and give mom a chance to pick up her kiddo! Bonus fun fact - did you know many tree squirrels prepare multiple nests?

Last chance! Our Getting Started in #WildlifeRehab panel is tomorrow, July 16 at 3pm UTC. This event will inspire newer folks who want to join, and seasoned veterans will glimpse the next generation who will carry on our important work! Register: bit.ly/JULYCT #womeninstem #conservation #birds

Please don't use poison to control rodents or insects. Glue, aka sticky traps, are a huge danger to wildlife. These traps aren't species-specific, which means they catch all sorts of creatures, regardless of whether we perceive them as pests or not. #wildlife #birds #wildliferescue #wildliferehab

This kind of amazing work requires so many hands and so many hours! If you love wildlife and want to help, consider volunteering with your local permitted wildlife rehabilitator. Most offer training so you don't have to come with previous experience! #wildlife #wildliferescue #wildliferehab

Wildlife Rehabilitators! Join us next Monday, June 30, to talk about how to use the data you already have to improve your own practices as well as help other rehabilitators around the world! #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #Wildlife Register now: tinyurl.com/bdhp3vr2

A good point! Another way to think about it - would you want the kind folks helping you to take you straight to the hospital, or head home and insist you have a meal with them before you get treatment? ahnow.org in the US www.helpwildlife.co.uk in the UK www.fauna.org.au in AUS
