Yesterday we visitied a bird sanctuary - A Place Called Hope. - A Place Called Hope is a Rehabilitation and Education Center for Birds of Prey. Our goal is to heal injured, orphaned, or ill birds and return them to the wild where they belong. Federal permits allow us to house and work with the birds that can not be returned to their natural world provided we share them through educational presentations. These particular birds have become ambassadors and have helped us to educate the public. They also teach all of us how to co-exist more peacefully with the wildlife in our very own backyards.
I was so impressed by the enclosures these birds are kept in, the knowledge and great care these folks provide, and always.. the inspiration, hope and good will people like this give our planet in their generous gift of caring and doing.
I do love owls... this little guy below could fit in the palm of your hand.
how awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the educational aspect.
ReplyDeleteWow, very cool, nice work they do for sure.
ReplyDeleteThey are incredibly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my- just what I need today :) A young robin flew into our patio door window. It laid where it landed, on its side, sides heaving for the longest time. Then it righted itself and stood there, not moving. We so want to help it, but can't really do a thing for it. So sad…
ReplyDeleteYour post today made me feel better! Your pictures spoke volumes :)
We have Operation Wildlife here that does much the same, but they do not allow pictures of their wonderful facility. I really enjoyed these pictures!

ReplyDeleteI love this. So thankful for those who take care of the wildlife, and all animals like the efforts of you and others.
ReplyDeleteOur cat Dorothy gets the same expression on her face as that last little owl.
