Rediscovering home: A raptor on the mend
A bridge needing a facelift, a young man and an historic bar no more, and a couple more bird stories.
Our place is becoming a raptor refuge. Not long after the osprey nest on the power pole next to our house was taken down, I was returning home and noticed what seemed to be a hawk hiding behind a small firewood stack in front of the house. I dropped the bike and went to look. A small hawk hopped from the wood pile and flew a short distance before landing on my bike. Though it could fly some, it was obviously injured.
I took a photo and sent a text to local animal champion, Bessie Spangler, asking if she knew of a raptor rescue. She did, and sent the address of the website for the Wild Skies Raptor Center.
