UPDATE: From not being able to stand, to perching proudly in three days! Our Boston red tailed hawk has responded well to treatment for rat poison.

He will be transferred to Cape Ann Wildlife, Inc for further care. ❤️

Today’s adventures included the rescue of a red tailed hawk that appears to have been poisoned and a Canada goose that was hit by a car.
We worked alongside Andover Animal Control for the Hawk and the Lynn Fire Department for the goose. Both of these wild birds are getting the care they need thanks to the collaborative efforts of our local officials ❤️❤️❤️

The squirrel was found flailing in the snow, unable to coordinate his limbs and freezing cold. He was found by Debbie who thankfully took him out of the cold overnight and kept warm until she could find a rescue that would take him.

The red tailed hawk has so much rat poison running through his veins that he was having trouble flying. He collapsed on the ground in Boston where he was found by Pete. Pete called us saying he would drive anywhere to get this bird the help it needed. All he needed was an address.

Both of these animals are warm, safe and being treated tonight instead of dying out there in the cold - and that’s all thanks to two very kind human beings who saw them suffering and were willing to do whatever it took to help them.

Skunks may be little stinkers but they help the environment in many ways. They aid farmers by eating many garden pests, including mice, voles, beetles, various larvae, wasps and crickets.

Murder hornets??? Yeah...they eat those too...

The spicy barred owl from yesterday is doing amazing at Cape Ann Wildlife, Inc. I won’t translate what he’s saying as it will get me kicked off Facebook. The words are so “fowl”.

Thank you. Thank you. I’ll just see myself out…

*Owl was hit by a car and is being treated. He will be released when he is all healed up and able to survive on his own.

Who knew one tiny body could hold so much rage…

This barred owl came in last night after being hit by a car. Based on an exam, it appears he may have ruptured an air sac but seems otherwise in good condition.

He Is the most vicious owl I have ever dealt with and managed to talon me twice. He will not tolerate being messed with and he has made that very clear. It’s a great sign that he will survive this incident. I’ll need therapy to get past the abuse I endured last night but we both made it through. 😂😅

Happy to be transferring him to Cape Ann Wildlife, Inc. Good luck, Erin!

Let me address the rumors directly…

While most people understood my recent posts regarding police officers and wildlife, a small but very loud group seems deeply alarmed and misinformed.

To be clear:

We are not trying to take away the jobs of animal control officers.
We are not trying to overstep Environmental Police.
We have neither the authority nor the desire to do either.

What we are doing is addressing a repeating problem - one that has resulted in wildlife being euthanized in ways we believe are unnecessary and inhumane, often due to:

• fear
• lack of information
• lack of available resources

Our goal is simple: education and communication.

That means:
•Talking about what rabies actually tends to look like
•Explaining why nocturnal animals are sometimes active during the day
•Addressing towns with no animal control officers
•Addressing towns where animal control does not handle wildlife
•Discussing what options exist when Environmental Police do not have the bandwidth to respond

These situations happen every day, and officers deserve to know what help and resources are available to them.

This is about disseminating information to save lives and prevent suffering. Nothing more.

If this upsets you, ask yourself why.
Why would the spread of knowledge be so threatening to you?
We are volunteering our time to help solve a real, ongoing problem. We also aim to learn as much as possible about the wildlife issues our officers face. We aim to understand.

I am no stranger to having my words twisted to paint me as the villain. That comes with having half a million followers. I have thick skin and I don’t back down easily. The complaining wont stop me.

I have spent years doing this work - on the ground, in the hardest situations, when fear and misinformation cost lives.

I will not be silenced for choosing education over fear, or compassion over complacency. This collaboration will move forward, and we will continue to speak, teach, listen and advocate until better outcomes are the norm.

It’s a collaboration and it’s one I’m excited about for 2026! We have worked with many wonderful police officers for yea...

It’s a collaboration and it’s one I’m excited about for 2026! We have worked with many wonderful police officers for years now. We have set up meetings with police officers in multiple towns to discuss handling wildlie situations.

It’s not to fight. It’s not to accuse.
It’s to understand.

It’s to understand what sort of wildlife calls they receive and what aid they generally have available to them. It’s explaining what we do and how wildlife rehabilitators can support them in wildlife matters. It’s for both sides to be educated so we can better support each other. ❤️

And ladies - I know they are attractive. You’re welcome. One’s my brother in law, so go easy. I know you guys! 😂

When her paw gently touched my arm, I nearly jumped. It was so cold - just like the rest of her body. It hurts my heart to know what her little body has had to endure.

She was rescued by Dracut Animal Control this morning when she was found lying on the snow and not moving. This opossum is so cold that her temperature won’t register on a thermometer. I can’t imagine what that must feel like. Right now she is slowly being warmed in an incubator, grateful to be out of the cold. We are going to get her through this.

We are thankful to her finder and Dracut ACO, Colleen, for making sure she got the help she needed.

Also, don't forget, today is the last day to get a tax write off for 2025. We are a 501c3 and could really use your support! ❤️🙏❤️
