Just a reminder...Sophie's release is this Friday, July 12th
She is ready to get out into the wild!
The evening starts at 6:00pm @ Tellico Grill
http://tellicogrill.com/
Please remember that Tracy - owner of Tellico Grill, is donating part of the night's proceeds to Upstate Birds of Prey. As you enter the restaurant there will be a sign in book for everyone who wants to be advised of future events.
If you save your dinner receipt and bring the original to "The Market" you will receive a free package or Mother Earth Meat's ground beef for FREE!

The event is free to everyone but please remember that it is only through your generous donations that we will be able to continue rescuing, rehabbing and releasing injured/orphaned birds of prey plus, your donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE just make sure you turn them into one of the Upstate Birds of Prey volunteers so we can get you a receipt at the time the donation is made.
We will have tables set up with items we are selling for donations and silent auction. Any amount over the suggested donation amount or value of the auction is tax deductible also!
While grownups are "shopping" the kids will be close by with things to occupy their time until the release.
We will also have a DVD of Sophie's life, from her first photographed peek out of her nest until last week. We will only have enough DVDs to offer 1 per family but more can be ordered Friday night!
At about 8:00pm we will have a brief class about owls and more specifically, Great Horned Owls with a question and answer time afterward.
Around 8:30 we will move to the back of the field close to the woods so we can open the carrier and let Sophie take flight. We have arranged the release so her first stop "should" be a nearby tree before she goes into the woods which will give everyone an opportunity to use your binoculars and/or cameras.
Her mind is going to be on FREEDOM so to expect a good-bye pose is out of the question lol.
