Help! I found baby bunnies!
The mother rabbit does NOT continually sit on the nest or stay with the baby bunnies. Doing so would signal carnivorous (meat eating) birds and animals (like owls and fox) as to where her babies are living. By staying away from the nest, it protects them.
Help! I found a turtle that was hit by a car!
Every spring and throughout summer WNY's water turtles are on the move, mainly to lay their eggs. Many of them never make it to their egg laying site of choice as they are injured by a car. If you encounter an injured, or even dead turtle it is crucial to get her/him to a rehabilitator right away. Even if the turtle is dead, eggs can be extracted and the next generation can be saved!

Late April through June is the typical fawn birthing season in our area. Many calls come from concerned citizens who find a fawn and believe that it is orphaned or abandoned. The Doe deer does not stay with the young fawn all the time.
