Sitka

12 July 2014

Yes we are still here in the rain, one more day then the ferry tomorrow night
.
Today we went to the Raptor center it was very interesting, they try to rehabilitate
the birds, the ones that can't be repaired stay in the center or go to zoos in other places.

Well today they released 4 eagles back into the wilds, most of those were only there for a couple of weeks.  One of them that was released had been found by a fishermen floating in the water it had no strength to get out and fly, the couple that found it was there today and was able to hold it to release it.  When they found it they called the center and was told how to get it out of the water and to cover its head and wrap it up so it didn't get too chilled.  The lady who found it showed me the pictures of the capture.

Went for clam chowder and salad for supper, we are going to the arts school tonight to see a performance, more about that when I get back on line.

Again no pictures, I will have a lot to show you when I get a good wifi connection.

Have a good one y'all

  1. That would have been cool to see, especially for the people that found the bird in the first place and saved it.

    Glad you are having a great time, sure hope the rain clears up for you!
