We're Realizing Our Vision

Thanks to your generosity, we are moving ahead with plans to build a raptor complex for birds of prey of all sizes. We are grateful to the Amador County Board of Supervisors for waiving the permit fees for the enclosure. TCWC is serving you and our wild animal neighbors, and we want to stretch every dollar. Special thanks to our major donors for this project: Barbara Brown, Pete Bell and Katherine Evatt, Sandy and Floyd Greene, John and Susan Manning, Ronald J. Lisek, Gary E. Noice and the Thelma Doelger Trust for Animals.

Great Horned Owls: First In, Last Out

These owlets frequently come to us in the winter, and no one thinks they are babies. That's because they are 18 to 25 inches tall with a wingspan of up to 60 inches! Great Horned Owl babies stay with their parent birds as long as six months. These photos show some of the predicaments owls get into before landing in our care.

Barn Owls: Second In, First Out

The first out after showing us they can fly and hunt are the Barn Owls. These beautiful white birds are fierce and gorgeous.

Readying Our Raccoons for Freedom

Is there anything cuter than a baby raccoon? Nope. These babies are ready to go outside into a larger enclosure so they can become the wild creatures they are meant to be. Thanks to you, these little critters are getting a second chance at a life of freedom.
