Winter patients at our Los Angeles wildlife care center

The hard-working staff at International Bird Rescue’s Los Angeles center are very busy with many interesting species in need of our care (click here for the latest bird count).

On a recent visit to the center, located in San Pedro, volunteer photographer Bill Steinkamp took these great photographs of just some of our current patients.
