Weekend storms washed hundreds of thousands of baby critters from their nests and smote soaring birds from the sky, prompting the humans of Houston to lend a hand to their fallen neighborhood wildlife during a break in the weather Sunday. Hundreds of crates and terrariums hold a multitude of orphaned animals at the center's office near Memorial Park, which serves as Houston's primary refuge for displaced wildlife. Throngs of new critters found shelter in a room with cracked turtles, oil-poisoned sea birds, sparrows with casts on their feet, baby birds begging for food and a woodpecker incessantly pounding on his crate wall. At the height of activity on Sunday morning, more than 20 volunteers came in on short notice for a surge of tasks to keep up with all the creatures coming in for care, Schmalz said.
