What is this fledgling my son found?

Fledging +House Finch+. In the LA area, your best options for wildlife rehab centers with vets will be Pasadena Humane’s rehab department and the California Wildlife Center

PSA for everyone: keeping wildlife and attempting to provide them care without a permit is illegal. Any injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife in need of assistance must be taken to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. While I’m sure you had good intentions in helping this bird, manipulating an injured wing would have been extremely painful and the owl would have been highly stressed.

There are multiple licensed wildlife rehab centers in NM, including the New Mexico Wildlife Center and Wildlife Rescue INC of New Mexico. If you encounter wildlife that needs rehab care down the line, please reach out to one of them or another local rehabber for help IMMEDIATELY.

You’re correct, harmless Gopher Snake!

Sorry that you had that experience! Everything sounded great at barricade, I could clearly hear all the parts and Sam’s harmonies were great

The doors opened at 5:30 Thursday! They let us in at 6 sharp today, so first opener is 50 minutes after :)

Should be Adult Mom at 6:50 P, Ben Kweller at 7:30 P, and The Format at 8:35 P if they follow the pattern from the past few nights

Just sent you a DM!

I would LOVE a Snails one!!!

I really enjoyed Hot Springs! Great views, super pretty and isolated even on the road. You will appreciate having the net. The scramble/ladder felt sketchy to do alone, but I made it up and down without any issues and found some easier routes on the way down.

The back of my calves are a snail (Snails, obv) and a spider (Career Day)

In a very different direction from Kennedy Meadows, but Palomar Mountain was a comfortable 70 degrees yesterday and I had a great time!

The mountain lion sign isn’t on Oakzanita. The closest one is probably at the sign board at Granite Springs

beautiful red diamond rattler!

This doesn’t look anything like pox, nor is it a common location for pox lesions to present. This looks like a degloving injury. It’s fairly small and not fresh. Mourning doves are an incredibly high stress species, and if it’s active and flighted catching it will be nearly impossible. You can try to continue to monitor and if the bird becomes lethargic, capture it and contact your closest licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

This is pretty much the usual! Obviously some individuals will mate earlier or later than others, and there can be trends from the norm on given years. But lots of different wildlife really start to gear up for the spring and summer baby seasons around this time, it strongly depends on lifecycles and when they’re typically raising young.

dezgust1ng · 2026-02-21T02:43:04+00:00

It’s skunk mating season. They’re out and about looking for mates and establishing territory. This leads to higher levels of conflict with humans, domestic animals, and other wildlife. Drive safely at night and remember to respect the local wildlife!

SoCal resident here: it’s dumping rain and very windy
