Kisstin Truue Hey ! One of my good friends, Chris wants to start at CRC soon! He'll probably go up with Crizz one of these days ! :) wish i was there. Wildcare was just not nearly as cozy as CRC, not to mention they are apparently full on volunteers. :(

No windstorm, just crazy vet clinics that keep taking in branchers with minimal nest site info. You can only climb up a ladder so many times to renest before you start to lose your mind!
Darcy Scholts

Darcy Scholts you all ok down there after the weather rolled through?

Jean Shirley

Jean Shirley If you visit Eugene, be sure to see the Cascades Raptor Center. Impressive work is being done here, and you can "adopt" a bird!

Jean Shirley

Jean Shirley I'm from the East Bay in California and volunteer at IBRRC in Fairfield. Louise allowed me to volunteer for a shift at CRC. Very exciting! A beautifully organized rehabilitation center and hospital where birds are number one! Thank you, Louise, for all you do.
