Hi wildlife lovers,
I have a huge passion for wildlife and love sharing my passion and knowledge with others and helping wildlife in the process. I am a certified wildlife rehabilitator (2015) through the IWRC and plan to update my certification in the near future. I have a few years of experience rehabilitating injured, orphaned and sick wildlife. As of 2019, I have taken time away to raise my
twins and hope to return to helping rehab wildlife in the future. Before I do so, I will be updating my certification and I am also in the process of putting together my applications for government wildlife permits and won’t be doing any rehabbing until those are approved. However, I will always be here to offer my best advice to those in need of assistance. I am currently working on my Masters of Science degree in Animal Behaviour (research) at Memorial University with seabird expert, Dr. Bill Montevecchi. My research is on breeding success in the Northern Gannet colony at Cape St. I will be sure to share any updates on my research with you all. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for 3rd and 4th year wildlife biology courses at Memorial University of Newfoundland where I have lectured on topics such as Wildlife Rehabilitation in Newfoundland and Domesticated Cats as a Threat to Wild Bird Populations. I have volunteered for a number of years with The Puffin and Petrel Patrol where I rescued and released many pufflings and Leach’s storm petrels. I also weighed, measured and banded 100+ pufflings before their release. I hope you enjoy my journey with wildlife,
LeAnne
