A fawn follows Keirstie Carducci, 61, of Ottawa Lake as she makes her way to release a bunny that she brought back to health in Ottawa Lake on Thursday, June 29, 2023. The bunny came to Carducci’s home with head trauma, and wouldn’t stop spinning in circles. After treatment and care for five days, Carducci was able to release the bunny, and watched as it ran straight into the wild. “I just love this so stinkin’ much,” Carducci said while returning to her barn after releasing it. Carducci runs a wildlife rehabilitation center from her backyard, titled Out-Back Wildlife Rehab Center, where she treats fawns, woodchucks, squirrels, chipmunks, mice, rats, moles, voles, shrews and bunnies.
