Thistle-July 21

This little porcupine had been seen for four days by the side of the road with no evidence of a visiting adult. He also had a terrible case of fleas, so I brought him in for treatment and evaluation.

Baby cottontails

Three baby cottontails came in after their nest (and one bunny) was destroyed by a tiller, and a neighborhood dog was on their trail. They have been thriving, and eating mountains of fresh grass. I have had them for a couple of weeks and they will soon be ready for release.

Strange Littermates

This spring I have a bunch of late season single babies, all at the same stage of development, so I put them all together and they all snuggle and play: two red squirrels, a gray squirrel, and a chipmunk.
