In honour of International Bat Night this weekend, we wanted to shine a light on some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding these incredible mammals. 🦇
International Bat Night is celebrated around the world during the last weekend of August to raise awareness about bats, the important roles they play in our ecosystems, and the need to protect bat populations and their habitats.
This weekend, help us celebrate bats by replacing fear with facts and sharing a little appreciation for these amazing animals.

Join us in celebrating these three young European Starlings!

All three were brought in as tiny babies, requiring supportive care and daily checks to ensure they were growing strong. Now that they are grown and independent, they've been released back out into the wild.

We're wishing this family of Canada Geese a wonderful !

Earlier this year the parents had nested on a high-rise rooftop. When our rescue team arrived to relocate them to safety, they found the mother goose had an injury to her leg. So the whole family was brought to Wildlife Rescue!

Thankfully after a couple weeks of care and medication, the mother goose had recovered and the family was released together, back out into the wild.

Join us in celebrating this American Crow's return to the wild! 🖤

This crow was brought into our care after suffering impact trauma. Hot summer temperatures compounded their condition and this bird was admitted disoriented and severely dehydrated.

With dedicated treatment, supportive care, and several weeks to heal, they made a full recovery and were ready to return to the wild.

Watching patients regain their strength and take flight again is always a rewarding reminder of why wildlife rehabilitation matters.

Happy ! 🕊️

With intense summer heat still ongoing, more wildlife like this crow are arrive to our Wildlife Hospital with similar conditions.

You can support their care and recovery by donating today: https://www.wildliferescue.ca/?form=summer-2026&campaignid=701OJ00000xGuyqYAC&channel=Organic%20Social&utm_medium=organic&referral_source=Facebook&utm_source=facebook&appeal_code=M260701&utm_campaign=m260701

Recently, a Little Brown Myotis was rescued after being found grounded on hot, exposed pavement.

By the time this tiny bat arrived at the Wildlife Hospital, they were severely dehydrated. Our medical team quickly administered fluids and provided supportive care to help stabilize them.

At this time of year, it's not unusual to see more bats out and about. Bat pups are beginning to leave their roosts and learn how to fly, which can sometimes lead to unexpected landings.

If you find a bat on the ground and believe they may need help: keep your distance, take photos or videos if possible, and submit a report through the emergency webform. NEVER HANDLE A BAT WITH BARE HANDS as bats are a rabies vector species in B.C.

Every patient in our care depends on community support. If you'd like to help this Little Brown Myotis, and the many other wild animals currently receiving treatment, please consider making a donation here: https://give.wrabc.ca/page/summer-2026?campaignid=701OJ00000xGuyqYAC&channel=Organic%20Social&utm_medium=organic&referral_source=Facebook&utm_source=facebook&appeal_code=M20260701&utm_campaign=m20260701&mktg_species=MYLU
