First baby bird of the season!!!! A baby Rock Pigeon 💕

In case you needed a reason to smile today, here are two baby squirrels hugging!

Patient(s) of the day: Anna's hummingbirds
These two babies had just hatched when they were brought in! The rescuer who watched mom build the nest and incubate the eggs had not been seen her in 24 hours so he decided to bring us the babies. We will be attempting to take them back tomorrow just in case mom is still around and the rescuer just missed her. Hopefully, we can reunite these 2 with mom but if not, then we will make sure these babies are taken care of😁

It's time for baby opossums!!!😁💕

Tiny baby squirrels! How adorable is this?!

Like the Big Bad Wolf, the January storm blew up our aviary flight cage. If you missed WCA sharing the disaster with Kitty O'Neal on KFBK here is your second chance to listen in!

Listen: Terri Muzik is a former WCA Board member. . The wind storm knocked over our bird enclosures last night. They need your help to raise money to rebuild the enclosures, we need a contractor or construction workers who would be willing to volunteer to rebuild.

Patient(s) of the day: Desert Cottontails
Is there anything cuter than sleepy baby rabbits?!💕

An incredible Sacramento artist Stephanie Taylor created this recently installed mural on American River wildlife. Check out the Inside article or drive by and see the mural downtown. WCA also thanks Stephanie for previously creating a special design for us featuring a local favorite the Yellow Bill Magpie. Looks great on our coffee mugs!

We’re also excited to select @wcasacramento for our #PatchMatch through February. A portion of all sales will be donated. Their facilities took quite a damage hit from the wind. Let’s raise some 💰 for the care of these animals. 🦅 🦨 🐇 🐿 🦝
