Wild Wings

Art, Zatanna and I went to Wild Wings at Mendon Park today. Wild Wings is a sanctuary for birds of prey that are not able to be released into the wild after being injured. They have many beautiful birds. At the sanctuary they took in a bobcat that was in need of a home.


The Bald Eagle is Athena, the Snowy Owl is Pearl, the Turkey Vulture is Barf, and the Golden Eagles are Isis and Zeus.



Before being rescued Tara the bobcat was de-clawed so she could be sold in the exotic pet trade.

We all had a great time meeting the animals and learning about them. After Wild Wings we decided to take a walk along one of the trails at Mendon Park. Along the way we came across a very friendly squirrel. As you can see from the pictures the squirrel actually climbed on Art's legs when he squatted down to get a closer look.
