International Bird Rescue’s wildlife clinics are open year-round to provide critical care to seabirds beyond treating oiled wildlife. Each year our rehabilitation teams admit 3,500-5,000 birds between our two California clinic locations. These patients were brought to us by the general public and affiliated wildlife groups. Our focus has been to act toward balance with the natural world by rescuing waterbirds in crisis – since 1971 we’ve admitted over 150,000 birds and the count continues
We are looking for stunning images of our patient species in their natural habitats to celebrate the beauty and diversity of these remarkable creatures in our 2025 calendar. The deadline for photo submission is Sunday, August 4.
