Yo ung animals given sec ure > future

With springtime come baby ani-
mals. No one knows that better
than the operators of the Wildlife
Reserve of Western Canada on
Wain Road in North Saanich.

Right this minute they have a
baby great horned owl about 60
days old and still covered in soft
down. It’s being cared for after it
fell out of a Sooke tree.

“It’s not unusual for birds of
prey to Icave a little too early,”
reserve worker Mike Curtis said.
“They tend to have an aggressive
nature.”

The baby owl has lots of com-
pany. Also new arrivals at the
reserve are a half-dozen six-week-

_old raccoons, a baby squirrel and a

young raven.
Aristotle isa permanent resident

of the reserve and a mature great -

horned owl. He was caught in a
leg-hold trap and lost one leg —
making it impossible for him to
hunt and survive.

A descented skunk found wan-
dering in the Elk Lake arca also
makes his home at the reserve.
Skunks aren’t native to the Island
and Curtis believes it was aban-

couple were released last fall.

This spring three deer were
released on Saturna Island, back to
the wild where they belong. They
were brought to the reserve last
spring and were brought through
the initial critical stage.

Director Alex Matheson said:
“These animals appear to be cute
but they are wild and have to be
treated with the greatest respect.”

He said that if people find fawns
in the bush, in all probability they
have not been abandoned and
should be left alone unless you
have made certain the mother has
been killed.

GARAGE SALE
TO RAISE FUNDS

The wildlife reserve is important
to the animals that live there and
equally important to people who
find wild animals in distress. But it -
is Not supported with government
funds, Matheson said.

‘*We run entirely on public sub-
scription and if that stops every-
thing stops,’’ Matheson said.
