Festival Fun

Here we are at the Optics Festival. We saw about 1000 folks and had a great time!! As usual the eagle owl was a huge hit. She, however was entertained by the display of large snakes next door!
The rough legged hawk also came along and transfixed the birders of the crowd with a close up glimpse of a winter visitor. Our taxidermied Great Horned owl also engaged people with the "Is it real?" dilemma

Full Circle

This is Susan Ahalt from Ironside Bird Rescue in Cody, Wyoming. The white Red tailed hawk is a former patient of hers, found hit by a car with a fractured wing. The attempt at repair failed, so this unusual and magnificient bird is now a permanent member of the NBC collection.Susan spent 10 days in California visiting us and seeing the sights. This was a wonderful moment to reunite the two under less anxious circumstances.
Susan has placed 5 birds with us , 4 of which continue to be active ambassadors in our educational programming. Ironside Bird Rescue is one of only TWO rehabilitation centers in all of Wyoming, and Susan is a real pro. We are very lucky to know her.

The Bald Eagle's Day
