The Wildlife Rehab & Education Center has received its first great horned owl baby for the 2010 year. Orphaned wild rabbits, opossums and squirrels have already arrived. The recent cold spells brought many animals to the WR&E Wildlife Center. Screech owls, brown pelicans, cedar waxwings and several species of hawks have benefited from the kindness of their rescuers when they were delivered to Houston’s only trauma hospital that accepts all injured, ill and orphaned or oiled native wildlife. The animals impacted by the cold weather were nurtured back to health and most have been released back to the wild just in time for the upcoming babies. WR&E reminds the public that the Wildlife Center is open 7 days a week if they need assistance with injured, ill or orphaned wildlife.
