The babies are coming! And coming. And coming.
Now through early summer, the San Diego Humane Society’s Project Wildlife will be a temporary home to the many thousands of injured or orphaned young wild animals who are brought to the organization during wildlife baby season.
From teeny, tiny baby hummingbirds to less tiny baby cottontail bunnies to the occasional coyote pup or mountain-lion cub, baby season will bring a flood of feathered and furred life to Project Wildlife, where staff members and volunteers dedicate themselves to making sure these wild things stay that way.
“Literally every part of the facility is going to be full of babies. The workload is tremendous,” said Andy Blue, who splits his time between Project Wildlife’s new Bahde Wildlife Center in the Morena District and the even newer Ramona Campus for apex predators and birds of prey, where he is the director.
