Patient of the Week
We are seeing an uptick in trauma cases, including this screech owl. Found by the side of the road, he came in exhibiting signs of head trauma with difficulty thermoregulating. Thankfully, he is responding well to treatment, and his prognosis is good.
Want to help screech owls?
🚙 Drive slowly at night and pay attention
🌳 Leave trees with cavities standing where possible
📦 Install screech owl nest boxes
🐭 Do not poison their food with rodenticide
🦗 Support insect habitats and populations and plant native plants- they eat these too!
💡Turn off lights at night
🥅 Take down sport nets at night if possible, or seasonally if nightly is not possible

I have hit 2 screech owls in my lifetime. Or should I say, 2 screech owls have hit me- both flew right into the side of my vehicle (at night). One survived. I have quite a story about the other, but it’s too long to tell here.
Last winter after dinner one night we had an owl glance off our windshield on the way home. I felt horrible knowing most likely the animal might have been hurt by doing so. Most likely what happened here with this owl. You folks are amazing thank you for all you do. I will be making a donation from time to time to your facility you can count on that. 🙏
So I want your opinion on this “take home a wild badger” video that popped up in my feed. www.facebook.com/share/v/14GJhgG6moS/?mibextid=wwXIfr
This weekend!!
Still in the spooky spirit ?
Meet the creatures that come out at night! Some of our wildlife ambassadors will help teach you all about the adaptations nocturnal animals have for life in the park during a one-hour presentation, then take a night hike with our wildlife experts through our wildlife park to check out what our night owls (and mammals) are up to!
Ages 5+ welcome Pre-registration required.

Peanut is triving here at the Howell Nature Center! She is almost ready to move into our deer habitat so keep your eyes peeled for when you can come visit her! She has stolen the hearts of our keepers and they love getting to watch her get the zoomies! 🦌
Want to support peanut? We have a wine fundrasier going on with wholehearted winery. You pick what type of wine youd like and a picture of one of our animals to go on it. There are two peanut options to pick from! Donating is a wonderful way to help support peanut in our care💙
