We've been watching this Harris Hawk family forever 10 years. The season somebody new in the neighborhood decided to shoot both juveniles. Shooting Harris hawks is the state and federal offense. Please help advocate and protect the hawks in your neighborhood. We have reporting tools on our website that will help guide you through the process, even if you don't live near us. We are grateful and appreciative for all the people that help with rescues, help raise awareness, and that help safeguard our wildlife. It doesn't matter which animal we pick up they are all canaries in a coal mine. Whatever happens to them will eventually happen to us.

Not our normal post but we love pets too! This sweet boy was found by a helper last week and they can't find his owners. They've checked if he was chipped, put up signs, posted on socials. They say he's super sweet and only wants to cuddle... but they already have 5 dogs. They are afraid to put him in the shelter system so here we are trying to find his owners or a furrever home so he can get all the cuddles he wants!

If anyone is interested in adopting we can get you in touch with the friends caring for him now.

Thanks!

Originally we had the nest box tucked too far into the shade tree. Even though the owls in AZ need shade and brush for a safe install, we have to be careful not to tuck them too far under the branches... or the Owls will not use them. If you're thinking about installing an owl habitat right now is the best time to do so. Check out our website for different options.

It's install season. Anytime between now and February is the best time to install. The sooner the better. The babies are looking for their own spaces and egg laying starts as early as late February. Happy to collaborate with some amazing groups to secure rodenticide free habitats and better chemical free solutions for large industrial farming. Grateful for all the friends that help make releases with supplemental habitats possible. These owls now have the best chance for survival. Much better than a free release for sure. The towel is only left on for about 20 minutes to calm them and then we remove it for them to venture out on their own. Barn owl's will eat over 1000 rodents a year each. When nesting with babies, they consume over 100 rodents per week. 1 poison rat can kill an entire family. Please help us get this rodenticides out of the environment by providing better solutions for farms and Wildlife. Please check out our bio for more info.

We're trying to get into Bat box installs this year. I started seeing them on the farm fields and I think we could really increase populations with a little bit of work. Here's a great article on some of the Bat species. We have here in Arizona. We actually have 29 species even though the article only chose 20. If you have any questions in reference to Bat, we will tag our friend from the Arizona about Rescue and we hope to be seeing more Nests boxes up for these guys in the future.

If you're looking for an opportunity to volunteer for Wildlife, here's your sign! We have a Volunteer form on our website and we basically work with all centers trying to get animals that are in trouble to the right place so they can get proper medical treatment and care. I'm so happy we got to help with this baby Havelina. I'm grateful for Mychals help from Animal People, Elizabeth's help with the second relay, and of course Southwest Wildlife Conservation for doing all the rest of the heavy lifting. Thanks friends!

Guess where we picked up our last owl... the owner called when it was on the roof but it laid dead next to this poison bait box when we got there.

Now with no Owl, their rodent problem will only get worse

This is why we do not like rat poison and why we teach people how to trap their own rats, use rodent birth control, and take as many fresh owl bodies to the state vet so we can start getting more of these cases legally recorded.

Please check out our bio for more info. Rat poison only makes the problem worse because it hurts non target benificial species like this owl.

RIP ♥️🦉♥️

This one time I went to Australia to help out a Wildlife Rehab and I had one of the best times of my life. I'm really not sure why I haven't gone back, but I definitely think I should schedule something in the near future. I love birds, and wildlife, and people that care about wildlife... and it's really that simple. Take care of the habitat and everything falls into place.

I realize not a lot of my actual work gets put on Facebook. Anywhere here's an attempt to share from insta. It's install season. Do you know where your owls live? Maybe try giving them a home ♥️🦉♥️
