[Utah Fire Info @UtahWildfire]

🔥 Firing operations are underway on the #TurpinRx west of Bountiful. @utahffsl and partners are conducting a 1,500-acre prescribed burn in the Farmington Bay area today. Smoke may be visible in nearby communities. Please avoid the area & do not report smoke. #UtahFire #FireSense

[UtahDWR @UtahDWR]

@VR_FR_Spotter Don't feel terrible — you didn't know and thought you were helping wildlife. Now you know for next time. 🙌 We're all learning and just trying our best to help local animals and their habitats. We understand that mistakes happen.

[UtahDWR @UtahDWR]

@VR_FR_Spotter If you think the fledgling is in immediate danger, then move it carefully to a safer spot nearby. However, if you can't catch the bird, just leave it alone. You can learn more about what to do if you find a young bird here: https://t.co/gwMplf7Zuk

[UtahDWR @UtahDWR]

@VR_FR_Spotter This awkward "hopping" stage typically lasts two to five days. It's part of the natural process a baby bird goes through before taking its first flight. The parents are watching the baby bird and are still feeding it.

It’s a beautiful spring day so you go for a walk. You are strolling along when suddenly you hear loud chirping near your feet. You look over and see a baby bird lying on the ground near a tree trunk. What should you do? @UtahDWR has a few tips:

[Faith Heaton Jolley @FaithHJolley]

Each year, @UtahDWR captures big game animals to perform important health assessments & place GPS collars on the animals to learn more about their migration patterns and survival rates. This winter, 1,433 big game animals were captured, providing important big game data

[Faith Heaton Jolley @FaithHJolley]

Important takeaway for the average person: PLEASE don't touch or pick up dead birds. If you see 5 or more dead ducks/geese or individual dead owls/hawks/vultures, you can report it to the nearest @UtahDWR office

[UtahDWR @UtahDWR]

With the help of our partners, we work hard to reduce wildlife/vehicle collisions around the state and make migration safer for Utah’s fish and wildlife.

See where we teamed up with @UtahDOT and other partners in 2025 to complete new migration projects: https://t.co/Mwsy6icbMU

Ever seen a moose in your neighborhood or near your home?
🫎 Contact @UtahDWR if it’s within city limits.
🫎 Don’t approach it or try to “herd” it to a new location.
🫎 Secure your pets. A moose will kick and stomp them.
