Freedom's Greetings!
It's a thin line, between Town and Bay It's a thin line, between Town and Bay It's nine o'clock in the morning and we're just getting in - we open up the front door and a new day begins. Check the pools, 'cuz it rained all night, but they're okay. Feed the birds, get the meds out and plan the day… [ 241 more words ]

Last Saturday we held our 4th Annual Rent Party and Volunteer Appreciation show! 2016 was a tough year and without our volunteer staff we would not have been able to provide direct care to over 1o00 wild neighbors as well as consult on thousands of more cases resulting in humane conflict resolution between the wild and society. Volunteers for Humboldt Wildlife Care Center work long hours doing many thankless tasks (Thank You!). [ 452 more words ]
A Common Loon landed in a big puddle in Arcata today! We took a call, found her on the ground on the west side of town, a big strong healthy bird. She charged her rescuer bravely! After an exam and time in a pool, she's ready to be home!
Tonight, from 6pm to close, Richard's Goat Tavern and Tea Room in Arcata (401 I St) will be donating dollar for every pint of Beer and Cider sold! Showing tonight at the Miniplex at Richard's Goat, a movie filmed in Arcata, the "hilarious, feminist homage to 1960s Italian thrillers," The Love Witch. We'll be there with an information table! Stop by for a pint, help rescue wildlife and see a movie getting rave reviews from around the country that has our home as the setting! Thank You to Richard's Goat for offering this evening to benefit our wild neighbors!

So far this year, among the returning birds to Humboldt Bay, we've admitted several Brant (Branta bernicla) for care. In fact, we've treated more Brant this year, twelve, than we'd treated in 2012 (5), -13 (3), -14 (0), and -15 (1) combined. Brant are beautiful and strong sea geese, thriving on our winter coast. Even in illness they aren't likely to be easily found. [ 498 more words ]

Freedom's Greeting! Season's Greetings, Friend of Wildlife! What a tumultuous year 2016 has been! Yet from a contentious US election to increasingly alarming news regarding our shared environment, through it all, we’ve been here, providing care for our region’s injured and orphaned wild animals, helping people peacefully resolve conflicts with wild animals, and our Wildlife Ambassador program has gone to grade schools and social clubs promoting co-existence with our wild neighbors.

Official Statement by the Army Corps of Engineers on Dakota Acces pipeline!
It is not a straight "Denial" of the pipeline. But rather...they will not grant the... easement pending further review of alternate routes, which alludes to an EIS.
Still...TREMENDOUS news! This pipeline will not get approved under an Obama Administration! #noDAPL
Every year BAX honors our dedicated volunteers with a show and a party! ANd we invite everyone to come help us celebrate their devotion and love for our wild neighbors.

Thank you for your support on #GivingTuesday !! Your donations totaled over $500!! That money will go directly to the care of injured wildlife on the North Coast!
On November 28, on US 101 where it winds through the gas stations and fast food joints of Eureka California, a Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus) was in hot pursuit of a Sparrow. She caught the Sparrow but was hit by a car in the heavy traffic. A quick-thinking, kind-hearted man saw her get hit, saw her lying on the ground at risk of being hit again and pulled her from the roadway. [ 282 more words ]
