Mission
To rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned wildlife; to provide educational programs to Pennsylvania residents in order to help foster an appreciation for conservation; and to promote a harmonious existence between humans and wildlife. The ARL Wildlife Center is funded entirely by donations. If you share our commitment to the future of Pennsylvania's wildlife please support the Center.

This photo shows a bird most of us rarely see even though they are common in Western PA. This is a Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). Usually shy and elusive, this one apparently wasn't elusive enough and from the injury to his wing appears to have been attacked by a hawk or other larger raptor. He is recovering in our aviary but we are still not sure if his injury will heal well enough to allow for his release. Incidentally, the Pileated Woodpecker was the model for the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker.
