(Undated) – The Illinois Department of Natural Resource says it is “baby animal season” in Illinois. IDNR Conservation Police Captain, John Williamson, says they receive calls all the time in the spring for responses to baby and adult animals in yards. The department’s message is “just leave them alone.”
Williamson reminds the public that animals will often leave their young during the day while they pursue food and more often than not, they return. He says to learn more visit wildlifeillinois.org.
