Here is a young Grebe that came to us yesterday. We often have Grebes brought to us with no injuries. Grebes cannot walk well on land due to the placement of their legs, which is much farther back on the body than most birds. For this reason, they sometimes become stranded on land and are very vulnerable to predators.

Aside from some minor bruising, this bird is healthy and will be returned to the wild soon.

If you would like to help support WCA and the animals we rehabilitate, please go to our website where you can donate, see our wish list, and see our Amazon wish list, or apply to volunteer. A few items that we could use right now are:

Hard boiled eggs
Broccoli
Fresh fruit (melon, apples, berries)
Hand soap
Laundry detergent (unscented)

Thank you for your continued support that allows us to help get wildlife back into the wild!

Recently a Turkey Vulture came into our care. It is a little lethargic but it is eating well and ready to go to a home rehabilitator for continued care. Feeding it is stinky business but it worth it to know that we are helping this awesome animal get better.

Do you know what Turkey vultures like to eat? ... See MoreSee Less
