Abstract
Licensed wildlife rehabilitators in New York are permitted to rehabilitate native and naturalized wildlife species originating in the state of New York. License conditions required wildlife rehabilitators to record case information on a weekly basis using the Wildlife Rehabilitator Log (WRL) paper form provided by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). In addition to species and intake date, approximate age, sex (if known), and location in which the animal was found are recorded. Both the presenting distress and final disposition are noted for each animal. Annual summaries and all WRL forms are submitted to the agency by December 1 of each calendar year. Data on these handwritten logs from the three reporting years ending December 1, 2012, 2013, and 2014, are provided here.
