Hi there!  I'm Julie Miller and among other things I'm a wildlife rehabber in Garfield County, Oklahoma.  I have State and Federal wildlife rehabilitation permits, allowing me to accept and provide care for all species of wildlife.

You've probably found this page on my website while searching for help with orphaned or injured wildlife. Be sure to read the Frequently Asked Questions and check out the Wildlife Rehabilitation Resources.

Have a wildlife emergency? You can reach me by phone at (580) 446-5679 or by email.   
 

Orphaned, Abandoned and Injured Wildlife from 2006

If you'd like to meet some of the orphaned and injured that have come my way in the past, you can view pictures of the wildlife orphans from 2003, here for pictures of wildlife orphans from 2004 and here for pictures of wildlife orphans and ex-pets rehabbed from 2005.
 

 

2006 Injured or Orphaned Wildlife   These are just a few of the animals that came my way in 2006.
This juvenile red fox kit was confiscated and is now in rehab awaiting a buddy.	These baby bunnies are beginning the weaning process.
Two baby bunnies learning to enjoy eating weeds and hay.	An orphaned baby rabbit sitting in the pile of hay during the weaning process.
Two orphaned opossums. Their mother was hit by car and killed. A lovely couple checked the pouch for surviving babies and brought them to me to rehab and release.	Three orphaned baby opossums, also the victims of mothers hit by cars and killed, in their new fur pouch.
An orphaned baby bunny lapping formula from a dish.	Orphaned bunnies at the weaning stage.
A one week old baby raccoon drinking formula from a bottle.  Notice the bottle is about the same size!	This baby raccoon is about 1 week old.
Three orphaned baby raccoons about one week old.  Their mother was killed when she entered the pen of a protective hog sow who had babies of her own.	An orphaned male red fox kit. Single kits imprint very easily and this little fellow is awaiting a buddy.
Same three orphaned baby raccoons.  Thanks to a nice gentlemen for being persistent and getting this little ones into wildlife rehab as quickly as possible.  Their chances for survival are great because they were given to me so quickly.	A red tailed hawk who made the mistake of flying over a smoke stack at the local carbon plant.  Her feathers were singed off and now she's in care while she moults in a new set.  In cases where only a few feathers are damaged, imping (replacing the bad feathers with good feathers) is an option.  In this case she is missing so many that she will be in care until her new feathers grow in.
Fledgling Mississippi Kites.	I put this coke bottle in the picture to give a reference for a fawn's size.  They are so small when they are just a few days old.
This doe is camouflaged in the greenery.	A couple of my rehabbed and released deer.
This is me, feeding an infant raccoon.	This spot is taken.
Young raccoons learning to fish in their "pond".	Mississippi Kites and various stages of development.
A nestling Mississippi Kite.	Juvenile raccoon, honing climbing skills.
There's nothing quite like having the tube all to yourself.	This is one of my favorite pictures.  Light, shadow and a coonie.
Relaxed and comfortable with full tummies these baby raccoons are learning to play.	Supervised play time for the raccoons after feeding time.
A red tailed hawk after growing in a new set of feathers.	Can you see the deer here?
Four of my released, rehabbed deer cleaning up under a squirrel feeder.	This is a pile of stinkers.
Big yawn for such a tiny infant raccoon.
