by Jayne WintersAs part of our continued stroll down Memory Lane, I found several articles written by Carleen Cote about students who have raised money for Duck Pond Wildlife Care Center. Here is one from August 4, 2001:“On June 12, fourth graders from Windsor Elementary School, with teachers Julie Clark and Sheila Ready, visited the Center to see the young baby wildlife. They saw fawns, foxes, raccoons, a porcupine, squirrels, as well as the long-time residents – hawks, owls and the adult deer.

by Jayne WintersAs a follow-up to last month’s stroll down Memory Lane, here is another article Carleen Cote wrote in 2004:“Over our 40 years, we have cared for every species of Maine mammal except for the Pine Martin [sic]. We have cared for every species of water mammal. Caring for the mammals every year is one thing. We also needed to have places to release the wildlife back into the wild.

by Jayne WintersWhen I stopped by Duck Pond Wildlife Rehab this week, as there were no critters awaiting transfer to other rehabbers, Don and I talked again about how smoothly things have gone since his hospitalization in May and subsequent transition to semi-retirement. Over just a few days – thanks to Inland Fisheries & Wildlife staff, volunteers, Avian Haven and other rehabbers – he was able to receive the medical care he needed and not have to worry about his furry and feathered friends.

by Jayne WintersI don’t remember that I’ve ever written back-to-back articles about the same species, but sometimes things just naturally fall into place. Both of these recent rescues have a happy ending, so how could I resist?

by Jayne WintersAs is often the case, I wasn’t sure what this month’s article would be about and had asked Don to give it some thought so we could talk about it last week. And, as is often the case, it didn’t take very long for that question to be answered!When I stopped by Duck Pond the other day, Dr. Cody Minor, of Windsor Veterinary Clinic, was finishing up a house call for a young raccoon, whose story is the topic of this column.
