Another day, another release!!! 🙌🏼 It’s a happy Monday for this Barred Owl that finally got to return home after some much needed TLC 💗 We’ve had many Barred Owls come to us this season and the majority are first-year juveniles!!! They are the “teenagers” of the 🦉 world and still learning the ropes 🤪 They often make poor decisions and find themselves in sticky situations after flying too low and getting hit by cars! 😢 Almost all of the Barred Owls in our care recently have come in with broken ulnas 🦴 Our awesome partner veterinarians @buschgardens are able to help us get these guys back on track! 👍🏼 Thank you to all those involved in their care 😍 @swbgconservationfund #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #instagood #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable 🎥 Thank you to Diane for releasing this owl and for the great video!

Our boy, Nitro, is quite the little model!!! 😎⭐️ Thank you to @dougdefelice for capturing these incredible shots 📸 Nitro is currently in the training process to get him ready to be one of our ambassador animals at events! 🙌🏼 We cannot wait to show him off to the public and have him help raise awareness for native fox rehabilitation and the growing problem in the exotic pet trade 😩 Nitro, you have a big job to do!!! ❤️ Happy training! @swbgconservationfund @buschgardens #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #instagood #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable

It’s funny how life always seems to bring you full circle! 🤗 One week ago, our director received an email from the associate dean at the University of Florida @uflorida @ufalumni telling her they wanted to talk about becoming a part of their board as an alumni 🙌🏼 She was asked (as 1/6 people) to be part of a board serving as mentors for biology, zoology, and other science majors at the University of Florida, the same university from which our director graduated!!! 👩🏻‍🎓 She was told that after looking through the data of graduates, "no one had the diverse background and experience in the science field” that she did! 💗 Next week she will go to Gainesville and sit with all the science professors and discuss the mentorship role! ☺️ Forever bleed orange and blue!!! 🧡💙 #gogators #uf #universityofflorida #chomp #gatornation #ufgrad #gainseville #florida #college #zoology #gators #theswamp #gainsevillefl #uflorida #bleedblueandorange #wildlife #rehabilitation #conservation

Here’s yet another one of our incredible releases 🙌🏼 a Red Shoulder Hawk!!! ❤️ We have rehabilitated over 7 just this past month (this is just one of the releases) and they have mostly come in with various broken bones 🦴 Thanks to our partners at @buschgardens, we are able to get these guys up and flying again ⛅️ a BIG thank you to Deanna and Mike for returning this fella to his natural home and for the great video 🎥 @swbgconservationfund #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #instagood #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable

Release of two of our Gopher Tortoises! 🤗 They were both chewed minimally by dogs, which is starting to be a HUGE problem! 🐶🐢 The little, yellow one is a hatchling and the other one is about 1.5 years old 🎉 Owl’s Nest, in conjunction with another rehabilitation facility, has provided information to show that dog attack incidents are higher now than car hits for Gopher Tortoises 😢 and FWC Gopher Tortoise Commission will be coming out with a whole new education profile to stop what's happening in the near future 👏🏼 Other than these two here, we have had several others go through the rehabilitation process after being chewed by a dog! 🐾 We are proud to do what we can to help this important species in our state! ☀️🌴 @myfwc @swbgconservationfund #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #instagood #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable 🎥 Thank you to our director, Kris Porter, for the great release day video!!! 👍🏼

It’s squirrel season!!!! 🐿 Take a look at all of these babies we’ve had in our care! 🙌🏼 Last year we successfully raised and released 562 and we are well on our way to reaching or exceeding that number this year with the large influx of squirrel calls we get on a daily basis! 💗 There is nothing quite like squirrels 😍 Although we love having these guys in our care, we believe that the best thing for them is to be with their natural mother, if possible 🙏🏼 For that reason, re-nesting is a huge part of our job!!! 🤗 We ask that if you find a healthy baby squirrel, please try to reunite them with their mom and siblings by placing them at the base of the nearest tree where they were found 🌳 Monitor them from a large distance for about 2 hours—allowing mom to feel comfortable and give her time to return for her baby! ⏰ If you have a Bluetooth speaker, play “Baby Squirrel in Distress” from Youtube to encourage mom to retrieve her young one 🙌🏼 If you need any assistance through the process or have any concerns, please call us at (813) 598-5926 or contact your local rehabilitator 📞 If the baby is emaciated/dehydrated, injured, or in an unsafe location, then please contact us immediately! 👍🏼 We are here to help!!! These little guys have a way of stealing your heart ❤️ @swbgconservationfund #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #instagood #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable 📸 Thank you to Kris and @jtroncoso0825 for the great pictures! And a big thank you to all of our squirrel fosters for your time and sacrifice in helping get these babies back to nature 👶🏼

RELEASE DAY 🎉 This is why we do what we do!!! 🙌🏼 We were able to release our little Grey Fox the other day back to nature where she belongs! 💗 It’s always so rewarding to see our patients basking in freedom after a long rehabilitation process—it makes all the long days worth the while! 🤗 Rescue, rehab, release!!! 🌳 #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #instagood #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable 📸 Thank you to Susan and Kris for the great pictures!!! 👍🏼 @buschgardens @swbgconservationfund

Some of our patients are a little rough around the edges 🤣 but we love them just the same!!! 💗 This snapping turtle came to us a little while ago with some injuries to his shell! 🐢 After some TLC and getting his wounds cleaned and his shell patched up (and a few free meals 😜) he was ready to be released back to nature! 👍🏼 @swbgconservationfund #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #instagood #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable 📸 Thank you to @dougdefelice for the great close-ups of this character 🙌🏼
