]]> An eastern screech owlet came into The Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s von Arx Wildlife Hospital after someone found it huddled at the base of a tree. When their wildlife staff examined the little owl, they saw sores on the bottoms of its feet. They’re treating these wounds with Betadine soaks, and once the owl’s healed, they’ll return it to its nest.

Spring always brings a rush of babies to their hospital. As days grow longer and temperatures rise, wildlife enters breeding season, and the hospital admits close to 100 young animals every week. Many arrive because human activity, like development and habitat loss, leaves them vulnerable and injured.

The Conservancy is hosting its annual Wildlife Baby Shower online from June 7 to June 21, 2026. Everything’s virtual this year. If you want to help, head to their Amazon Wishlist and make a purchase, or donate directly. Each donation helps the most fragile patients. 

If you buy from their wish list and include your information, you will enter the raffle for a family membership with the Conservancy. Every bit of support counts.
