"Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

28 July 2010 We received an email message containing the below photograph, asking if we could identify this bird located in the southern Los Angeles County area.

We found it easy to identify this as a male Pheasant but what concerned us is the fact there is a red, foreign object stuck on its beak. This is a death sentence, a slow death at that from dehydration and starvation. We are hoping and anxiously waiting the call to go and make the capture and remove this object from the Pheasant's beak.

24 July 2010 Finally had the time to finish our patient data report for June and publish it for your enjoyment and edification. Obviously, another busy month where we treated 152 critters of34 species and were able to release 92 of them.

2 June 2010 May turned out to be another busy month. We treated 171 animals, releasing 120 of them for an astounding 71% success rate. I have to admit, our great success rate is due to Aile and all the hard work she does. I'm so proud to have her on board with AWRE, she truly worked and earned her position on our Board of Directors. Thanks Aile, your hard work, dedication and extra effort has not gone by unnoticed. If AWRE had salaries, you would definitely get a big, fat raise but we all know how that goes at AWRE.

Thank you, Aile. Here's AWRE's patient data report just to show how hard Aile has been serving our injured wildlife and our communities.

We did receive an unusual animal , well unusual for us to receive here in Long Beach, and that unusual critter is a Chuckwalla, a very cool lizard from our surrounding desert area. I understand one can actually determine where they came from their coloration. I am really anxious to learn this technique but here's a picture of our Chuckwalla.

5 May 2010 Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
Here's the latest patient data report from AWRE. We treated 105 critters of 37 different species and were able to release 62% of them. No wonder we are all so tired. Proud but tired

"If you talk to the animals they will talk to you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them, you will not know them. What you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys." Chief Dan George *562.434.0141 - 379 Newport Ave Ste. 302 Long Beach, CA90814*
