Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is a 501 c 3 nonprofit with principal programs of Wildlife Rehabilitation, Community Outreach and Education, and Volunteerism. As our facility is not open to the Public for wildlife viewing, we hope our blog allows people in our community to see the work we do and appreciate the wildlife we all share our environment with. We are an all-volunteer organization that provides services throughout the State of Colorado. We rely on donations to provide services, as we are not funded by any agency. We provide care to wildlife ONLY and are licensed for all birds, including all birds of prey, as well as small mammals. We hope you find the blog entertaining, useful, and fun. We're open to suggestions on how to improve as well!

Finally, it feels "springy" today! After several weeks, months of bitter cold, wind, blowing snow, and blizzards, today feels good. The sun is shining, the drifts are beginning to melt, and the extended weather forecast looks promising. So today was a good day to catch up on some releases that have been pending for several weeks. Today "Kenny" the junco went back home to Ken and Darcie in Manitou. April's male kestrel went back home to April's back yard in Colorado Springs. And today John G.'s kestrel is going back home to John's back yard. Jim's red-tailed hawk finally looks brighter and perkier. "Pearl" the female kestrel found on Pearl Harbor Day with a broken wing is outside today, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Betsey's saw whet owl Ziggy is looking great and ready to go. A few more critters will be released this week as well, and here's hoping spring is here to stay. And thank you again to all the volunteers involved in these birds' success; Tom O'Toole, Diana Biggs, Dr. Eggleston and Cindy, Dr. Hancock, and Ken, April, Jim, Betsey, and all who stop and take the time to help an animal that deserves a second chance at life.
