New Melones Rangers saw many nesting Canada Geese and knew that as the water rose, the nests would be inundated. Rose Wolf Wildlife holds the rehabilitation permit for this area and they called Carol Galinski of Tri County Wildlife Care to see if she would help. Carol has been rescuing and raising waterfowl and game birds for over twenty years and has been working with Tri County Wildlife Care for more than 10 years taking in over 120 birds each year. She told the rescuers they would need to carefully pack the eggs and to keep them warm during transport. Carol carefully marked each egg as she placed them into the incubator. Within a few days, Carol heard peeping and went in to find that the eggs were hatching. A total of five goslings have hatched at this time. There is simply not much cuter than a gosling which is chubby and fluffy and up eating shortly after hatching. Carol, Rose Wolf Wildlife and the New Melones Rangers will now have the job of watching out for adult Canada geese on the lake with goslings. Tri County Wildlife Care assures the goslings are stable and then goes in search of a surrogate family. Canada geese are amazing parents. TCWC communicates with lake owners and rushes over when parent geese are spotted. When adult geese hear goslings, they immediately rush over to take them into their flock. No one can ever raise wildlife better than their wildlife parents, so Tri County Wildlife Care releases goslings to wild geese every year. Tri County Wildlife Care is hopeful that these goslings will soon be back out on New Melones lake where they belong. For more information, please visit www.pawspartners.org.

Wild critters will soon be arriving into another area of this same facility for Tri County Wildlife Care volunteers and staff. A baby bird nursery will be staffed from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. once babies start arriving about May 1st and can house as many as 80 birds that need to be fed every 30 minutes all day long. Volunteers worked tirelessly to prepare for the care and housing of all of these critters. The walls are decorated with the animals and names of the kind sponsors. People wanting to visit are encouraged to call 209-223-0410 for A-PAL Humane Society or 209-283-3245 for Tri County Wildlife Care. There just are not sufficient words to describe all of the work and generosity that went into this facility, awesome, amazing, or generous? Every stick of furniture, treatment tables, office furniture and washer and dryer were donated and put together by volunteers. Sponsorships and volunteer opportunities are still available. For details, please visit www.pawspartners.org.
