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.
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.

Can you see the deer here?
