In case you missed it, Up-up, Wild Care’s screech-owl paid us a visit today. The small but serious bird posed for photos and selfies, and even answered a few questions. Up-up had such a good time it promised to come see us again. We’ll post the details of its next...

This Saturday, November 25th, "Up-Up," the Eastern Screech-Owl and a crew from Wild Care will be visiting us from 10:00-12:00. Although Up-Up isn’t scheduled to arrive until 11:00. Apparently, Up-Up needs extra beauty sleep.

With nearly 600 hats filled, our annual Free Hatful of Potatoes Day was once again a big hit, especially with this particular group. I’m not sure exactly who they are, but they win the award for having the best smiles of the day.

After months of incubation, hatching and growing, a brand new Osprey chick is ready to take flight from her nest in our back parking lot. Growing up between the dumpsters, delivery trucks and asphalt, the little bird proved once again that dedicated parents are far...

In celebration of Suzanne’s birthday (I’m not sure which one, but 23rd would be my guess) she and Steve took a trip to the Galapagos Islands. Not only did they have a great time, but they started a fashion trend on the Galapagos. Awesome photos you two…and happy...

Alison, and her BWGS shirt, travel more miles in a year than even an Arctic Tern*. Here’s her most recent photo. I’m not sure where she is, but it looks pretty cool. Keep going Alison. *The Arctic Tern is the most traveled creature each year. It is estimated that they...
