Thank you to everyone who played a role – no matter how small – in keeping our doors open all year and promoting peaceful coexistence with the Wild! You’re the tops! You’re the Mona Lisa!
Thank you so much for your support over the years especially in 2025! This year has been extremely busy. Moreover, we are still rebuilding our facility after a sudden move nearly 3 years ago!
Your support has meant that there hasn’t been a day when we could not meet our mission. In difficult times, because of you, we’ve thrived. Thank you!!
After some unforeseen delays, we were able to begin putting up our new raptor aviary. Soon it will be soaring!
Your support makes our work possible, including re-building our facility after our sudden move two years ago. Thank you for keeping our doors open and our patients provided with care.
This Red-throated Loon (Gavia stellata) got a second chance because your support keeps our seabird pools functioning and our doors open to the many faces of the Wild who call our region home in their hour of need. Thank you.
Please support our work if you can.
After several days of eating berries from branches and no longer being fed by care providers, it was time to release the young Waxwings! Fortunately Arcata is filled with Cedar Waxwings and Berries at this time of year (late September) so releasing them was a cinch!
Without your support, none of this would be possible. Please donate if you can. Every little bit helps!
These three Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) are a joy to care for, and the reward is incredible. But we cannot pay our bills with our happiness and fulfillment, though that would be incredibly useful if we could considering how rich in those things we are. However, there is a solution! You! Your support makes this work possible. Please donate if you can.
A Really Big Day at Humboldt Wildlife Care Center/bird ally x!!!
Thanks to the Oiled Wildlife Care Network, for over thirty years of responding to wildlife injured and displaced by oil spills!
Thanks for coming to see us! In the video I failed to adequately acknowledge the people who came to visit! Rats! But we’ll take care of it here: Victoria Hall, the new Director, Frankie Lill, wildlife planning specialist (and haiku enthusiast!), Danny Vickers, wildlife planning specialist, and Wendy Massey, a friend and colleague I’ve known since my first oil spill response, 23 years ago, then called the San Mateo Mystery Spills, now known as the Luckenbach spills, from the sunken (1953) SS Jacob Luckenbach.
Your support is makes us able to be a part of this incredible network of care providers ready to jump into action for oil spill-impacted wild animals. And right now, at the end of Summer, and our very busy season, we need you to keep us even keeled and underway! Thank you for your past current and future support!
A quick video made at day’s end, the beginning of September, reflecting on our current state and our needs….
Your support makes everything we do possible. We need you. Thank you
