Our newest little otter pup, Ginger!!! 🤗 She is doing much better since she was found by good samaritans in Lake Wales! She is about 5 1/2 weeks old and full of sass 😝 She is not afraid to let you know when things aren’t going her way 🤣 She has checked out great by the incredible vets @buschgardens 😷 and as always thank you to the @aquariumdenver for all they do for our otters and making their rehabilitation possible!!! Check out our website (in the description box) for our “adopt an otter” page which allows us to continue caring for these adorable animals! ❤️ #otter #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

Well, just like our pollen 🐝 season I assume that our baby season is going to start early! I'm not sure why 🤷🏻‍♀️ These two approximately 7 week old Screech Owl babies were saved from a wood chipper! The lumber company thankfully checked a hole they found in the lumber that was shipped days prior 🌳 The poor things are terrified, but are now eating consistently and will get a vet check-up 😷 this week by @buschgardens —our awesome partners! This is a perfect example for everybody that is going to be trimming your trees and hedges. Please look 👀 before you do and, if possible, wait a few weeks if you find a nest... It is the worst thing to do and sometimes illegal to be cutting nests out of trees. Please call 📞 us if you happen to find something 🦉 #owl #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #outdoors #adventure #photooftheday #baby #natgeo #conservation #love #cute #protectourplanet #saveourwildlife #world #photographer #animallover #animalphotographer #animallove #wildlifeplanet #cuteanimals #florida #animalplanet #adorable

It’s that time of year again!!! ...and we’re not talking about Valentine’s Day—although we think you’ll all fall in love with this cutie 😍🌹 We got a call today to rescue an abandoned baby otter; the first of the season! He was ice cold when he was picked up, but he is quickly warming up in our incubator and is taking quite nicely to formula! These little guys are a big part of Owl’s Nest every year and a big thank you to the @aquariumdenver for their tremendous support which allows us to make otter rehabilitation possible! ❤️ We are now able to house our otters in our expanded otter enclosure! 💧 This little guy will be going to @buschgardens to get checked out by the @thewildlifedocs 😷🏥 Thank you as well to the @swbgconservationfund 👍🏼 You all can play a big part in otter rehabilitation by adopting your own otter! The otter adoption kits comes with a stuffed animal and certificate of adoption. Visit our website at https://owlsnestsanctuaryforwildlife.com/how-to-help/ for more details! Each of these kits help feed baby otters just like this! 💗 Photo credit to our amazing rescuer @senileseahorse 📸 #otter #news #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

As we do our final numbers this year, we have found that we have a record number of birds and mammals that have been shot 😔 This one another great success case that came to us in November 🍂 This juvenile Red Tailed Hawk was found down and once again when we took it in to @buschgardens we were told that it was shot! It was a long rehabilitation!!! Thank you to our partners @seaside4thebirds for getting him up and flying. This case was, of course, documented to FWC and he was released in an undisclosed place. Nothing gives us a bigger thrill than releasing an animal that once again got dealt a terrible hand. Fly free! 🤗 #hawk #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

Happy squirrel appreciation day from two of our Owl’s Nest residents!!! 🐿🍂 We hope your Monday is squirrely!!! ❤️#squirrelappreciationday #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

Yesterday was a fun day, we at @owlsnestsanctuaryforwildlife got to release a rare Squirrel. Back in October one of our Volunteers Julia @jtroncoso0825 was dispatched on a call for a distressed "white" Squirrel. When Julia arrived, she noticed the Squirrel was missing part of her tail, and the bone was exposed. The little cutie was also very skinny and had mites...she then removed to Owl's Nest for evaluation and to have her cleaned up. It was then revealed that this was an approximately 6 week old Leucistic Eastern Grey Squirrel, not Albino. (Leucism involves a partial loss of pigmentation and it’s often mistaken for albinism, but while leucistic animals have white, pale or patchy coloration, their eye color is unaffected.). Julia was then given the task of raising this beauty, and naming her. Since she found her in October, and it was around Halloween, Julia decided to name her "Casper" :) Here are some images from the release, hope you enjoy them! 📸: by @dougdefelice ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #nikonlove #casper #nikon #instagood #volunteering #conservation #love #cute #volunteer #saveourwildlife #world #rehab #animallover #wildlifeconservation #animallove #coyote #cuteanimals #florida #squirrel #adorable #floridawildlife #squirrelsofinstagram
