Have you seen any robins in Alberta this winter? 🤔 They might be most associated with springtime, but American robins will overwinter in Alberta if they can find plenty of food, especially fruit. #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab

Nest building isn't just for birds! Our red squirrel patient builds nests in his enclosure to provide snuggly places where he can relax. 🐿🪹 #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

This female pine grosbeak came into care following a window strike. We're hopeful that continued cage rest and a body wrap will help heal her injured right wing. #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

How can you tell the age of a bear cub? By checking their teeth. 😁🔍 During intake, Dr. Cara examined his teeth to help determine his age and confirmed that he is a young cub born earlier in 2025. #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

Nose-to-nose in the winter woods 🫎❄️ Looks like these Moose (Alces alces) are having a quiet forest meeting caught on camera. #CameraTrapTuesday #Moose #WinterWildlife #NatureLovers

Today, we want to recognize the emotional challenge of having a wildlife patient pass away in our care. #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

It may look like a pile of sticks to you, but this is our beaver patient's home, and she worked very hard on it. Thank you very much. 🦫 #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

Last week's warm weather meant that our Swainson's hawk patient was able to spend some time outdoors! ☀ UV light is important for bird health, and natural sunshine is the best source! What did you get up to during the warm weather? #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing. #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

Time to go nuts for #SquirrelAwarenessDay! 🐿 We cared for 18 American red squirrels last year, most of which were orphaned kits who were far too young to survive on their own. #alberta #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #charity

Our big brown bat patients are two peas in a pod. 👯 Big brown bats are known to roost both alone or in small groups, and it appears our two female patients have opted to spend their sleepy days together. 🫶 #batconservation #albertabats #wildliferehab #albertawildlife

While the snowy forest floor may seem quiet and empty, many little mammals keep busy beneath the surface. 🐁❄️ #wildliferehab #supportwildlife #tinymammal #alberta
