We believe that there will never be enough birdhouses. We will have a great selection of birdhouses available soon.
We had a great Wildlife Alive Show at Blackthorne Resort. With most of our shows for 2020 cancelled due to COVID-19, being able to socially distance while teaching people about wildlife felt great!

As always, our friends at Green Chimneys in Brewster, New York put on an amazing event. New York Wildlife Rescue Center has been attending for the last several years, and are never disappointed.

Wes is at the Irish Festival/Irish Cultural Center all weekend (May 27 & 28), set up with the Wildlife Wagon and the raptors! If you're in East Durham for the festival, stop by and say hello!
Kelly and Wes brought the Wildlife Alive! educational raptors to Middleburgh Elementary School today for a special program. Big thanks to the teachers, parents, and especially the kids, for a great day! You're a wonderful audience!
We had a great day on Saturday at Schodack Island State Park. The Raptor Festival in conjunction with the Capital Region Audubon Society went very well. Our new set-up was a great success.
