   By your description it is most likely to be a wild turtle. It may have left the stream to lay eggs or to move to another body of water. You can safely release it nearby.

   Yesterday (8/10/09), the PGC officer picked up an injured fawn from our yard and brought it to your facility. When I called to provide you with some background on the fawn as the PGC officer was on his way to your facility, the staff person said they’d get back to me regarding your analysis of the fawn’s condition. Was the fawn able to be rehabilitated or did you have to euthanize the fawn? I’d appreciate knowing. Thanks.

   We just found a bat in a paintbrush soaking bucket in our garage. It is wet and stunned, trying to climb. What should we do?

   Called your hotlline, the bat has been CAREFULLY moved to the base of a pine tree (using a copier paper box), ready to climb up and dry out.
