HELP KEEP WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE SAFE: IF YOU CARE. LEAVE IT THERE:
NYSDEC reminds New Yorkers to appreciate wildlife from a safe distance and resist the urge to touch or
move young wildlife. Fawns, baby birds, and other offspring may seem abandoned, but their parents
often keep them hidden from predators while they are off collecting food.
Birds:
Fawns:
• If a nestling is found on the ground and cannot be easily and safely returned to the nest, the
public is advised to refrain from approaching and instead should call a wildlife rehabilitator.
• Fledglings, on the other hand, can hop and flutter on their own, and spend short periods out
of the nest on the ground or in low branches. If a young bird is alert, fully feathered, and moving
around, people are encouraged to watch from a distance and not intervene.
• Born during late May and early June, and although they can walk shortly after birth, they
spend most of their first several days lying still in tall grass, leaf litter, or sometimes relatively
unconcealed.
• During this period, a fawn is usually left alone by the adult female (doe), except when
nursing. Fawns are vulnerable to predators during this period. If human presence is detected by
the doe, the doe may delay its next visit to nurse.
• Fawns should never be picked up. A fawn's protective coloration and ability to remain
motionless help it avoid detection by predators and people. By the end of a fawn's second week
of life, it begins to move about, spend more time with the doe, and eat on its own. At about 10
weeks of age, fawns are no longer dependent on milk, although they continue to nurse
occasionally into the fall.
Most people have the best intentions when they find wild animals, but if a fawn, baby bird, or other
young wildlife is found, please remember, "If You Care, Leave It There."

website.

MEET SOME OF THE OLDEST ENDANGERED ANIMALS THAT NOAA SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN
MONITORING FOR DECADES:
From NOAA Fisheries
Some marine species can live longer than 100 years. These long-lived, slow -growing species— including
whales and sea turtles— can be indicators of the health of marine ecosystems. Their behavior can offer
insights into environmental changes or stressors. Long-term research and monitoring of populations and
known individuals is critical, especially for species that can live 100 years or more.
