Finally another place that sounds pretty big, is easy to visit, and has a lot for you to do!
Today’s bird friend is LaGuardia. From his bio:
LaGuardia was found badly injured at the LaGuardia Airport in New York. His injuries likely resulted from a blast of hot air from a jet engine. Both of his wings were badly fractured, requiring surgery and care from rehabilitators. His injuries resulted in flight too weak for hunting and migrating, so VINS became his permanent home in 2014. Although he was shy at first, he has adapted to life as an exhibit ambassador and prefers to sit next to a favored stump in his enclosure.
Their Facebook page is very active with thousands of pics of animals and nature and events. There’s a Halloween event coming up I’ll put in the comments. Lots of fun to be had here. Check then it if you can!
Is there such a thing as too many Screech Owls?? 😂 Hope things get better, and in the meantime, please have a virtual hug from an internet stranger! 🤗
I appreciate it! I did get an offer from a place I interviewed on Friday so hopefully I’ll be starting soon. My current work is over the end of this month, so it happened just in time!
