Imagine A Bird Purring Like a Cat. Wait, Who?

Carol, Working with the animals comes with its own set of challenges and rewards.  The advantages for our educational animals are many (i.e. shelter, food, safety) and they would not survive otherwise.  The real joy is when we have a rehab release-just spectacular!  Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

Gene, Thank you for the vote of confidence!  This work takes a fraction of my time but it gives great returns.  Having some knowledge of the local wildlife comes in handy when showing homes.  Being a handler at a public event also reinforces to clients that I care about our neighborhood.  Thank you for stopping by and commenting.

Debbie, Taking care of the animals teaches me much about patience and thinking out of the box.  Since it takes so little of my time, it's almost a guilty pleasure!  Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

Joanna, I'll see if I can take a "nicer" photo of the owl this morning.  We are working with it so it doesn't look so stern in public.  A couple of hours every week is a small time commitment for so much joy.  Thank you for commenting.

Jon, Thank you for dropping by to comment.  WERC just found out from genetic testing this owl is female.  Now the center will be working on a name for her.  I'm excited to see her again during my volunteer time!  I spend so little time with them, but it helps keep me grounded.
