(Salem, OR) -- This is the time of year when wildlife have babies and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says if you see them alone, leave them alone. Mothers will often leave babies alone while they hunt for food. If you take an animal, because you think it's abandoned, the mother will likely not take it back. Removing an animal can lead to a warning or citation from Oregon State Police. If you think an animal has been abandoned, call ODF-and-W.
