Keeping Busy

Hi All,

Last Tuesday we attended a raptor program at a local city park, Hammock Park. Volunteers from a raptor rehabilitation center in Clearwater came to talk about some of their "educational " birds. These are birds who's injuries mean they cannot be released.


This beautiful swallowtail kite has a wing injury.

The barred owl is very common around here.

This eastern screech owl is only 6" tall!

We have been training for a new volunteer gig with the CareLift program at the local hospital. Carl will drive the van and Sandy will help get clients in and out of the van as we drive them to and from doctors appointments. This free service operates 8 vans in two daily shifts from 7:30-4:00. That's 32 volunteers per day for five days!

Still lots of flamingo photos being posted as the birds blown north by hurricane Idalia recover from their stressful adventure.

Wildlife in the condo remains curious and entertaining.
Love,

Sandy & Carl
