Second Chance Wildlife Center is housed in a historic Gaithersburg farmhouse surrounded by fields, woods, a marsh, and a stream. Several spacious flight cages, small mammal enclosures, waterfowl pens, and raccoon quarters are located on the adjacent lawns. Many recently released animals share the grounds with the permanent wild residents before moving on to establish their own niches in the surrounding fields and woods.

A Jewel from Mother Nature It was an average day in June, meaning animals were being admitted left and right and we were struggling to keep up with the hourly baby songbird feedings, when a citizen arrived with another baby bird. She had been trimming branches when she suddenly noted a tiny creature on the ground. An ornithologist friend of hers had identified the baby as a hummingbird. The little hummer weighed one gram on admission, barely enough to register on our scale. |
