Fawns curl up together in a playpen at the Elaine Conners Center for Wildlife in Madison. The center, which turns 30 this year, always faces an influx of animals at this time of year as many babies are born around now. The center especially faces problems with fawns, as many people see fawns alone and bring them in to the center, although more often than not these fawns aren't actually abandoned.

MADISON — With the warm weather of late spring comes the annual baby boom of nature. Cathie Gregg, director at the Elaine Conners Center for Wildlife in Madison and a licensed animal rehabilitator, says this time of year is always one of the busiest for the center.
From fawns to birds to other types of animals, the center handles many orphaned and injured younglings, nursing them back to health so they can be returned to the wild.
