Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge
Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1990 to protect, conserve, and restore habitat for wildlife native to the river's floodplain. The refuge consists of twenty-two islands and four mainland tracts scattered along 362 miles of the upper Ohio River. Most of the refuge's 3440 acres of land and underwater habitat are located in West Virginia; however, Pennsylvania and Kentucky each have two refuge islands.
The refuge is important in conserving the wild Ohio within one of our nation's busiest inland waterways. Refuge islands are gradually returning to forested conditions after years of farming, oil and gas extraction, and other activities. The refuge works to protect wildlife and habitats native to the Ohio River and its floodplain. Migratory birds and endangered freshwater mussels are among the important wildlife emphasized on the refuge.

Bobcats squabble over a snack
Bobcats learn that mice are a fast food. They hone their hunting techniques at meal time.
Bobcat Fact: Rodents and rabbits make up the majority of a bobcat's diet in the wild, but they also eat insects, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and other mammals.
In May, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife (DOW) contacted the Lake Metroparks Kevin P. Clinton Wildlife Center to arrange care for two orphaned bobcats. The first was found in Muskingum County (southeast of Columbus). DOW transported the baby bobcat to the center on May 14. A second orphaned bobcat kitten, from Noble County (southeast of Columbus), was brought to the center on May 23. The bobcats are both female, estimated to be about two weeks apart in age.
That ODNR Division of Wildlife would choose to entrust care of this orphaned bobcat to Lake Metroparks demonstrates confidence in our Wildlife Center, notes Paul Palagyi, Lake Metroparks Executive Director. This affirms the Center's excellent reputation and the high level of care provided by our professional, educated and experienced staff.
The bobcats are housed together, which is good for their development. Young bobcats can survive alone in the wild around six to nine months of age. The goal is to release the bobcats into a suitable habitat as determined by the DOW sometime next spring.
