It is obvious to me that the male Marsh Wrens at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge are getting ready for the females to visit their breeding territories. Back in the 2010 breeding season, I was able to observe a male building a nest at this exact same time of year.

Wild bird rehabilitators want bird parents to feed their own babies. We also try to re-nest uninjured baby birds so we don’t interfere with a bird’s breeding cycle. It is illegal to keep a wild bird. After all, “Mother knows best.” And yes, it is tempting to want to feed that helpless begging little bird, but resist!

Peregrine Falcon at Delevan National Wildlife Refuge. With the help of a captive breeding program, the Peregrine bounced back, and in 1999, they were removed from the Endangered Species List. America’s National Wildlife Refuge System is the world’s largest network of protected areas dedicated to wildlife conservation.
