“Before you rescue any baby birds or baby animals, please call a certified wildlife specialist,” advised Chase Spearing, Education Coordinator for the New Mexico Wildlife Center (NMWC), when she spoke from Española by Zoom to the Rotary Club of Los Alamos April 27. “Most animal parents are nearby and will take care of the babies we might think are abandoned,” Spearing said.
NMWC, founded in 1986 by veterinarian Dr. Kathleen Ramsay, moved to its current location just south of Española in 2005. The Center has just welcomed new director Matthew Miller. He joins an enthusiastic staff that is committed to the NMWC’s mission “to connect people and wildlife for an abundant tomorrow.”
