You never know when you might have the opportunity to help a wild animal in distress: You may find a bird that has flown into a window, been caught by a cat, or tangled in fishing line, fencing, or kite string; a nest of babies fallen from a tree or bush; or a deer, owl, or opossum hit by a car. During spring/summer there are many wild animals, especially baby birds, which seem to need our help.
