This bumper sticker was on a car in the gravel parking lot accessed by a very narrow road up a fairly steep hill. The sanctuary is very close to the junior college where Ashley will start in the fall.
One of the workers holding a kestrel. The birds are often taken out of their enclosures and shown to school groups and birthday parties.
I can enlarge if anyone is REALLY interested!!
He or she looks like they would like to leave. All of the birds kept in the sanctuary cages are disabled and can not be released to the wild. Some birds are raised by humans and would not survive if released, as they have no fear of man.
The fiercest bird in the place.
This white tailed kite was kept in a large cage away from foot traffic as they were attempting to get it ready to release.
This hawk was an unfamiliar species.
These pictures were from Eric's phone. It took much better pictures than our little digital. It was difficult getting shots through the wire openings. These are only a few of the "residents". The sanctuary receives injured or tame birds and attempts to fix, then release back into the wild. If not possible, they keep for "adoption". All of the birds we saw had names and a history of why they were being kept in the sanctuary.
