Spring is in the air! The days are getting longer, then sun's rays a bit warmer, and a tingling is felt by new life soon to start sprouting all about. I hope everyone is as ready for spring as we are here at Upstate!
We have some fabulous new to share! Lucy, if you remember, was a Barred Owl that came to us extremely underweight and dehydrated. We actually had to go back to feeding her with tweezers, and use only skinless mice since her digestive system had been "shut down" for so long. Well, we are happy to report Lucy has a superb clean bill of health! She will ready to leave our care this up coming Saturday, March 16th around 8:00pm. This will be a public release - so all are welcome! We will have a class on the Barred Owl, and nocturnal raptors prior to release at 7:30pm. If you can attend please RSVP via email with the number of people in your party. We plan on having refreshments afterwards, and we will also need to do our best to seat everyone. Email us at Natalie@UpstateBirdsofPrey.org, and we will give you directions to our location.Full of anticipation,
Upstate Birds of Prey
SUCH GOOD WORK YOU DO, Natalie! Thanks for that. Raptors greatly need our help but it must be specifically-trained help that only people like you can offer. Blount County is very fortunate to have you here.
ReplyDeleteI have been a animal lover for all of my life, having grown up in northern Minnesota where my father taught me many survival AND conservation skills. They serve me well to this day and I am 67 years old!
BRAVO, Natalie!
