This gorgeous girl was released yesterday after being rehabilitated for injuries acquired during a territory fight 🦅 We want to give a big shout-out to @pinellascountysheriffsoffice for responding to the scene and calling us to rescue this Bald Eagle! 👍🏼Thank you to all those involved in her rescue, rehab, and release!!! 🤗 Especially @natureworldwildliferescue for test flying her for us, @buschgardens for providing medical care, @audubonsociety for guiding her release process, and Deputy George Lehr who was present for her release—seeing her recovery from start to finish! 🙌🏼 We appreciate all of you and couldn’t do it without teamwork!!! 💗 Fly free! 😍 @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 @jtroncoso0825 for the photos and video!!! 🎥

Fishing line entanglement is one of the top killers of our seabirds and shorebirds!!! 😭 We got this call when a woman found this egret stuck 30ft back in the mangroves! 🌊We are so lucky to have such wonderful and dedicated volunteers that are always ready to jump on a rescue! 🙌🏼 When Jessica got this call, she rushed to help the bird who would have undoubtedly starved/dehydrated to death had he not been found in time! ⏰ He was entangled in braided fishing line and it is such a great reminder why we need to clean up after ourselves! 🎣 Our careless actions have impactful consequences for the wildlife we share this planet with!!! 🌎 Thank you Jessica for helping this guy out and for the good Samaritan who called it in!!! 👍🏼 @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, Jessica, for the great pictures!!!

“Where’s Waldo?!” 🤣 This little cottontail bunny was released with his group today! 💗 As you can see, he’s made himself right at home and is very well camouflaged! 🌳🍂 All of our bunnies are released in areas with dense shrubbery, lots of greens, and heavy underbrush for hiding!!! 🙈 We hope these little guys enjoy the beautiful fall days to come 🎃 Happy hopping, little ones! 🐰 We also want to remind everyone that when encountering a bunny nest, it will usually seem as if the babies are “abandoned” but the mom only comes back to feed them once or twice a day—usually late at night or early morning when you won’t usually see her! 👀 Please let the babies be and contact your local wildlife rehabilitation facility if you have any concerns 🤗 We are here to help!!! 🙌🏼 @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 bunny foster, @jtroncoso0825 for the photos!

October is here and that means Halloween is right around the corner!!! 🎃👻 We thought this would be a perfect time to unveil the release of our new bat adoption kits!!! 🙌🏼🦇 We think these spooky critters we commonly rehab couldn’t be any cuter! 😍 Your bat adoption kit will come with a small bat plushie and mini brochure, complete with FL bat species information, rehabilitation, and how to help protect and conserve native bats in our area! 🤗 Bats are invaluable in helping control mosquito (and other bugs) populations—so believe us when we say that you WANT these guys around! 🤣🦟 Bat adoption kits will be sold at all of our upcoming events and pre-orders can be placed now!👇🏼 Email us at julia@owlsnestsanctuaryforwildlife.org for inquiries and to purchase a bat adoption kit 📧 Kits are $20 plus shipping (if mailed—$6.50).

We wanted to share some photos of some of our cutest rehab patients—these ADORABLE masked bandits 😍 We are posting in honor of National Raccoon Appreciation Day!!! 🙌🏼 These guys are more than just little trash pandas 🦝 Although primarily nocturnal, raccoons can be active during the day to take advantage of food sources—this is especially true during baby season, when mothers need the extra time to find food to provide for herself and her babies 🍼 Raccoons, like opossums, help keep your yard free of pests; but open trash bins can also attract raccoons looking for a free meal!🛢 That’s why it’s so important to keep trash bins secure and keep the lids on!!! 👍🏼 We also ask that you please not litter 🙏🏼 We are sharing a case we got in today of a raccoon with his paw stuck in an empty soda can 😢 *If you are sensitive to graphic images, don’t scroll to the last three photos* but we thought this story was impactful and important enough to share! These are the consequences of littering 😔 Please keep this in mind 🥺 This little raccoon will have a long road to recovery! 🤕 Lastly, we want to thank all of our incredible fosters for pouring their hearts into these babies! 💞 and thank you to @veterinary_emergency_group on Bearss Ave for all they do for us! We couldn’t do it without you 💗 @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 📸 Shout-out to Candy, Jessica, and Daniel for the great photos!!!

As we mentioned a while back, we are the only wildlife rehabilitation partners of the @cmaquarium 🤗 Well, today we made it *official* with a new partnership banner we are proudly displaying at all of our events (check out the last picture of our event this past weekend) 💗 Thank you, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, for the banner and for trusting us as your partners! 🙌🏼 Together, we can make a difference for all of our FL creatures—on land and sea 🌳🌊 Get a glimpse for yourself at one of our upcoming, local events 👍🏼 #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 for the great pictures!!!

This Round Tailed Muskrat baby is one of the first of its kind to come through our rescue!!! 🤗 We couldn’t be more excited to have her! 🐀 Muskrats are a type of semi-aquatic and nocturnal rodent that live in the south-east United States ↘️ They are only really found in Florida (and sometimes Georgia), thus giving them the nickname, the “Florida Water Rat.” ☀️🌴 The natural habitat for these guys is marsh or swamplands, where their diet consists of wetland grasses, seeds, and nuts 🌱🌰 Muskrats often need rescue as abandoned babies or juveniles displaced due to flooding carrying them away from their natural home 🌊 These little fellas are not as commonly seen as our other critters and we are proud to be able to help this girl out on her life journey 💗 @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 Deanna for the great pictures!

We want to take a moment to thank Dr. Mike Burton for his time, talent, and years of dedication to the countless animals he’s saved! 💗 Dr. Mike is retiring from @buschgardens and he will be greatly missed! 🤗 We’ve known Dr. Mike for years—dating back to 1997 when our director, Kris, worked at the animal nursery at Busch Gardens before even starting Owl’s Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife!!! 🙉 Kris and Dr. Mike have known and respected each other for quite some time and we are so appreciative of all he has done for Owl’s Nest! 💕 We love you, Dr. Mike! THANK YOU and happy retirement 🥳 #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, Kris, for the photos!!!
