Building for WildlifeBy Dorothy Kaufmann, Director

Now is the time to make those nesting boxes for your yard. There are lots of different design patterns you can find at the library or on the internet or in your favorite wildlife book. The more variety in the design of your nest boxes, the more variety of birds and animals you will attract. So get out to your garage or woodshop with some scrap wood and cool box patterns and start cutting! This is a great gift idea for those friends who have everything…..

Linda HartmannWe will miss you dearly!

Linda has worn many hats and been such a great friend to all of us. A long time board of director member, a wildlife ambassador for guided tours, presentations to groups, a maker of crafts for our gift shop and Linda has saved us thousands of dollars by raising meal worms for our birds. She has been a staunch supporter and will truly be missed. We wish you good luck as you continue working with wildlife in Tennessee. Our door is always open ….so please remember to visit your home away from home here at the Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida.

During the 2013 Seafood Festival and the Greater Gulf Coast Arts Festival the Wildlife Sanctuary of NWFL was extremely fortunate to have some wonderful people go out of their way to hold a fundraiser to benefit the critters. Anything from pulled pork sandwiches to freshly cooked fish tacos were served up for a donation to the Sanctuary. The food was a huge hit as was “Team Cayenne” named for the Wildlife Sanctuary’s red phase Eastern Screech Owl, ambassador for the events. Chef Dan Dunn and his friends cooked on the grill and greeted visitors beside the Pensacola Bay Brewery. People were lined up waiting for delightful taste treats and a chance to see the Wildlife Sanctuary’s educational birds.The events were a BIG success due to Dan Dunn, Mark Robertson, Nathan Holler, Steve Moody, Gina Dudley, Kevin Hobbs, Norman Colburn, Daniel Watts, Simon Dunn, Chris Robertson, Bill Strength, David Owsley, Hilton Pensacola Beach Gulf Front, Todd James, and Chris Johnson of City Grocery. Thank You all!!!

A Look Inside by Karen Beach, Operations Director

All of us here at the Wildlife Sanctuary are obviously animal lovers and are “owned” by at least one dog or cat at home. They greet us at the door every day seemingly excited to see us. The sad truth, at least at my house, is this enthusiasm is just a ruse. My pets, while happy I am home, are really more excited at the prospect of a getting a treat or meal of some kind! As a pet owner, it can be overwhelming going into any pet food isle at the store in search of the “best” foods for your critters. The variety of choices for dogs and cats are endless.

Imagine then, the Wildlife Sanctuary, trying to provide the proper diet for over 159 different species of birds, mammals and reptiles!!! This is what we do at the Sanctuary, 365 days per year! In 2013 alone, we admitted 125 species of birds, 21 species of mammals and 13 species of reptiles! Dietary needs can vary greatly so it is necessary to know exactly what is best for each species. It is a challenge to actually have all the necessary foods on hand each and every day because we never know exactly what each day will bring us!

Stay tuned….with the 2014 baby season upon us, it will be interesting to see what new species we may see!!!

Wait and Watch Before Rescuingby by Cheryl Greene, Assistant Director

With the ice and cold that we’ve had this winter it’s hard to think about spring, but it’s just around the corner. And spring means that the critters’ instincts will be turning to nesting and raising babies. Just to make sure that wildlife offspring don’t get “rescued” unnecessarily, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Make sure they are really orphaned. Baby birds will fledge from the nest before they can actually fly. If they are feathered, have a short tail and are hopping around your yard, try to keep an eye on them from inside your house. Mom and dad are letting them learn how to be a bird but are definitely feeding them as necessary. Keeping your cats and dogs inside will be a big help as the fledglings are very vulnerable during the week or so that they are on the ground. Even if you are sure that one parent is missing, the other parent will usually take over the feeding duties.

A lot of times baby fawns get “rescued” unnecessarily. The mom will place her baby or babies in a safe spot and leave them there for a few hours. This helps keep predators from finding them as fawns don’t have any scent. As long as a baby is not in harm’s way, watch from a distance to see if mom returns to feed it.

Of course we are here to help if you are certain that any wildlife is truly orphaned or there are injuries. If you have any doubt as to what to do, you can always give us a call for advice. Code 39-9.006(1)(a) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service states that you have 24 hours to turn wildlife over to a licensed rehabilitation facility. It is always best not to feed it or give it water. Keep it in a dark, warm, quiet place and bring it to the sanctuary as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your consideration and concern for the wildlife that we are fortunate to have in our lives.

GIVING WILDLIFE A HELPING HAND

by Cheryl Greene, Assistant Director

One thing that we see with great regularity is wildlife young and parents that are caught by cats. Once caught, infection from the cat’s teeth or claws or the stress of capture often results in death. Our best chance to help is if the animal is brought to us as soon as possible.

The most important thing you can do for wildlife is to keep your cat(s) inside. Putting a bell on a cat’s collar does not prevent them from killing wildlife. Cats learn to stalk silently but even if they don’t, wild animals do not necessarily associate the ringing of a bell with danger. Wildlife in the Western Hemisphere did not evolve in the presence of a small, abundant predator like the domestic cat and therefore did not develop defenses against them.

Not only is it better for wildlife if the cat stays indoors, it is also much better for your cat. There are so many dangers that confront free roaming animals: cars, animal attacks, human cruelty, overpopulation, disease, parasites, poison and traps. Keeping a cat happy indoors can be accomplished by doing some or all of the following: provide a safe outside enclosure such as a screened porch, provide window shelves so cats can watch outdoor activities safely, play with your cat each day (paper bags and cardboard boxes make great play toys), and plant kitty grass for grazing. Spaying and neutering will prevent unwanted litters of kittens.

By keeping cats indoors, you can make it a much safer environment for our native wildlife to raise their families.

Outdoor Treatsby Dorothy Kaufmann, Director

Keep on giving and sharing with the birds and critters in your yard by offering yummy treats. Here is a fun idea for your yard.

Soft Peanut Butter Mix 1 cup shortening1 cup crunchy peanut butter 3 cups yellow cornmeal ½ cup flourSprinkle thistle seeds and dried meal worms (found at Walmart and Lowes) Melt shortening for 1 minute or less in mi-crowave, add peanut butter and stir until blended. Now add cornmeal and flour. As it thickens you can add treats of dried cran-berries, raisins, thistle, dried meal worms or shelled peanuts. Cool, then smear on tree trunks or block into chunks for wire suet baskets.

I also like to offer apples, peanuts, fresh water and don’t forget a nice hummingbird feeder. The mixture for the hummingbirds is one part sugar to 4 parts of hot water, no red dye is needed.

June 2014 will be twenty years since I found my special bond with the Wildlife Sanctuary. The Sanctuary had a terrible fire in May of 1994. I read about it and knew some of the folks that were helping and offered my time. That was it…..I was hooked……I found what I didn’t know I was looking for. I am lucky to have an opportunity to work with animals and to work with such amazing people every day.

The work here isn’t glamorous but I love it. I love the animals, I love the mission, and I love the people that help with the animals and the mission. Some days are better than others just like your own lives. I consider myself lucky to have found something I find so rewarding. I often have friends, family…or strangers with huge smiles…..ask “Is it fun”.

Is it fun? Well… I pause to think of a polite answer (funny how parts of my life flash before me at that moment). Much of what I do is not fun so “no” should be my reply. Seeing animals every day that are injured or sick isn’t fun. Seeing baby animals scared and hungry that have been separated from their parents isn’t fun. Seeing animals too frightened to eat and cry inconsolably isn’t fun. I pause….because I don’t think “Is it fun?” is really what people mean to ask me. I answer with a statement. “This is one of the most rewarding, exciting and challenging jobs I have ever had….I get to learn about all types of animals…and…at the same time try to have every type of food imaginable for anything that arrives from pelagic birds to black bear”.

I found this to share: I am a wildlife rehabilitator, I am hard core, I save lives, I end suffering, I make a difference, I speak for those who have no voice, I “right” the wrongs that were done to innocent creatures, I do it because I am able.

All of us who work with wildlife rehabilitation share the mission of giving wildlife a second chance. Our volunteers and contributors share that same wish. Thank you for supporting the Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida and standing behind us for the past 31 years. Warm Hugs and Soft Smiles

Reflections by Dorothy Kaufmann, Director

DID YOU KNOW? Animals and birds come in many shapes and sizes and are usually grouped together in the wild for different reasons. Different groups may work together as a team to gather food effectively and efficiently, raise young, grooming, protection, migration and socialization. Groups of animals sometimes have the most unusual names. Test your knowledge…how many of the groups below do you know? First try guessing without looking them up! See how well you do! HAVE FUN!A group of crocodiles is a _____________________A group of vultures is a _______________________A group of foxes is a ______________________A group of sharks is a ____________________A group of jellyfish is a _____________________A group of owls is a ___________________A group of armadillos is a ___________________

A group of bitterns is a __________________A group of seabirds is a _______________________A group of wild cats is a ____________________A group of clams is a ______________________A group of cormorants is a ___________________A group of hummingbirds is a ____________________

In Honor (cont.)

Don’t Feed the Ducks Bread! Feeding bread to ducks is like killing them with kindness. It causes botulism, a cruel and mostly fatal disease, by the bread sinking in the water, removing oxygen as it breaks down and creating a bacterium which then infects the ducks. They suffer a very slow and cruel death as they are paralyzed and unable to swim or fly or eventually breathe.

It contributes to a deformity called “Angel Wing”. It affects the growth of ducklings due to the complete lack of nutrients in bread. Angel Wing causes the wings to permanently droop and the duck is unable to fly.

The lack of nutrients impairs a ducks’ immune system. This leaves them more likely to get ill, catch diseases and be preyed upon. Domestic ducks are attracted to feeding lakes or ponds and then breed with our native ducks which contributes to overpopulation and therefore less food is available for the wild ducks.
