Lynn Sciumbato visits with Igor, a resident red-headed vulture, at Morningstar Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Nearly 80 volunteers across Arkansas, under special permits, take in sick, injured and orphaned wildlife to rehabilitate and release back into the wild. We visit Morningstar Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Benton County and talk with Arkansas Game & Fish Commission's veterinarian about the permitting process and need. 

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
