Which is both a blessing and a curse.<br /><br />If anyone in town needs help with injured wildlife, I recommend calling the Wildlife Care Association: http://www.wildlifecareassociation.com/<br /><br />They have assisted us with two bird rescues. Call, follow the specific instructions, and take the injured bird to an individual volunteer. I wrote a review of our first experience here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/wildlife-care-association-mcclellanGretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578305062582311122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062280913017493322.post-64574819004512915512009-06-02T08:45:48.628-07:002009-06-02T08:45:48.628-07:00More creatures found in the yard the other day.

Had to round them up and put them back with the rest of the family. Why is our house a magnet for wildlife? We have cats!SacEichlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062280913017493322.post-5923871271943221352009-05-11T20:00:00.000-07:002009-05-11T20:00:00.000-07:00Thanks SacEichler; I'm really impressed with the w...Thanks SacEichler; I'm really impressed with the wetlands area near us! I'm interested in hearing about any other creatures that are spotted around here.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578305062582311122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062280913017493322.post-674455264712271282009-05-11T15:17:00.000-07:002009-05-11T15:17:00.000-07:00I live in the neighborhood, right across the steet...I live in the neighborhood, right across the steet from the Silver Lake access to Reichmuth Park. There is an incredible amount of wildlife in the area. Just yesterday we found a giant painted turtle in our front yard, which I carried back over to the swamp. I saw a large fox last week as well. We have had families of mallard ducks in the yard, and couples splashing down in the pool, giant wild turkeys strolling down S Land Park Drive, and flocks of large Canadian geese cruising overhead. Their are also several families of hawks in the area, so some of my neighbors with really small dogs keep a watchful eye out! One neighbor even had a giant gray crane stealing the koi out of his pond in the front patio. It's an interesting area and I think we are also right under the migratory flight path of all the waterfowl because we hear the honking of the geese almost every day...not to mention the croaking of the 100 million frogs that reside out there as well!SacEichlernoreply@blogger.com
