Ever Find Orphaned Wildlife?

If you are outside in the woods, by a body of water, or just in your own urban or suburban neighborhood, you might come across something like a fawn lying in the grass, without an adult deer in sight. Have you come across a bird’s nest with eggs or a chick or a young bird that can't seem to fly?

Sometimes the best thing to help wildlife is to leave it alone.
