It can be hard to tell the difference between resting or injured. However, you can look for any obvious wounds, broken bones, breathing problems, discharge from the eyes/nose, lameness or inability to stand/fly/walk. DO NOT approach a wild animal under any circumstance. If you have good reason to believe an animal is sick or injured, please contact the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.
