I would like to give huge "raptorian thanks" to the following folks....who found it important enough during this past year of 2009, to support Wings of Wonder. Because of their generosity and belief in the raptors we were able to continue our mission of conservation, habitat restoration, education and raptor rehabilitation. My total heart-filled thanks to each and every one of you!

Now all of us need to write letters to the Leelanau Enterprise and suggest that the raptor center doesn't need a road running through it!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, this is the first time we've read your blog and we are so pleased to get caught up on what's going on with WOW. Great photos in all of your entries going back to the eagle release in September! Keep up the fine work you're doing...and here's wishing you and WOW a happy and productive new year.
