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. Obviously, our National Wildlife Refuge System is one of our most cherished environmental treasures.

The male shown in the video above, filmed at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, was in the process of gathering nesting material for what usually adds up to a dozen to two dozen nests! 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.

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!
