"The Road to Release"

A guide to simple methods of wildlife rehabilitation. My baby. I hope you love it.
Here are some of the photos from the book. Too cute not to share. All are my kiddos, most now released. They are in black and white as they are in the pages of this book. Still adorable.

Oh BABY!
Two of many barn owls I cared for
A beaver kit fighting for her life from hypothermia and
dehydration.
An old friend and co-worker, Bonnie helped me care for the orphaned fawns for years after giving birth to her own little buck "Monte" (pictured here) and then adopting a handful of the orphans each year to nurse, while raising her own fawns hidden in the woods. Bonnie was poached in her 5th year. She lived with the wild herds, but always returned in the spring to help me. There will never be another Bonnie....
Visiting one of my beaver kits at the Oklahoma Aquarium. A phenominal facility and I am thrilled to see my babies safe and so spoiled.
First arrival fawn of '06. Perfect condition. Thats always a bonus!
Occationally there are babies like this Barred Owling, who mourn their nest mates and mother, and try to bond with me. This baby was not okay until a surrogate was placed with him. The relationship was temporary and the gosling was never in any danger.
A newborn squirrel. It is my success with animals like these that encouraged me to write a manual with all my methods. These are the kids that work you the hardest. Nomatter what you are ever told, THESE CAN BE SAVED!
Bob Snot on the lense.
Some of my '06 herd. Healthy, gorgeous orphans, all raised on the good stuff with lots of care and new life saving methods for problems. The fawn  on center right is the first of the season baby pictured above. Notice their facial features remain the same. I can tell each one apart.
Both single orphans, a newly hatched chicken with issues makes a nest mate for an infant flying squirrel. They helped each other adjust to their new enviornment and my care before being separated.
It looks very "domesticated" but this is a clean, comfy nest for a single orphaned raccoon kit, complete with buddy. I assure you, she was raised to be wild.
