Our good friends, Amy and Bill found an egret in a cemetery by their house a week ago. The called wildlife recovery - Joe and Barb Rogers - by Oil City to ask for help.
For a few days the egret had been in a ditch and let people come close. They called Chippewa Nature Center and they were referred to Joe and Barb.
Yesterday we went with Amy and Bill to see the egret go back into the wild. Barb said that the egret, now named Casper (cute since it was found in a cemetery), had probably been hit by a car. When they first got the egret it was starving and it ate and ate and ate. Now it was ready to take flight.
We got to see all the birds (owls, hawks and eagles) that had been injured and were recovered as much as they could be - the work they do is unbelievable. We felt as if we had walked into the greatest classroom and spent time talking with the best teachers anywhere. We so enjoyed the afternoon that we decided to send a small donation to them to help them continue their work.
