A Glimpse of Our Future

There hasn't been very much consistent in our lives over the past few years. We've lived in four houses in 18 months. That's a tad disruptive, to say the least. But one thing has stayed absolutely consistent and that's our drive to protect wildlife. So, I emailed the local Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release program when we first arrived. We didn't hear from them until late Thursday afternoon. A wonderfully enthusiastic woman called to tell me about their next training. She regaled me with stories about Yellow-billed Magpies and blue-eyed baby Stellar's Jays. Their program sounds incredibly good. We particularly love that they work with mammals as well as birds. I think we're going to be trained to care for injured songbirds. That's a future we are both delighted and ready to leap right into. Bats, small mammals, fawns, songbirds, and raptors... oh my!
