Critter Chatter is back after a long hiatus! Erica catches us up with everything that's been happening the past few months and how crazy life has been! She also introduces us to her animal cases this year, including "Tangles," the Tik Tok famous squirrel! 

Erica talks about why Raccoons can be a difficult species to take care of and why you should always get ahold of a rehabber if you find one in distress! Erica also kicks off baby season (a little early) with the sounds of a newborn Raccoon kit. Baby season has arrived! 

Erica has an in-person conversation with Critter Crossing Volunteer, Kyle Trombley. They reminisce on how their friendship came to be and what it's like volunteering for an Animal Rehab! 

Andrea Aiuto of Bird Center of Washtenaw County joins Erica as Critter Chatter's first special guest. This episode digs into the life of a bird rehabilitator and is "feathered in" with plenty of facts and birdy information. Just wait until you hear about their chimney swifts *swoon*.

Erica answers some of the questions that you had on our Facebook page!
