Albino Turkey Vulture

Meet our newest patient...an albino turkey vulture...a very rare bird indeed. This little gal was recently rescued out of the wild by Debra Gibbs and the Tribal DNR in Peshawbestown, Mich on January 30th. She is bone skinny and certainly would not have lived much longer out in the cold. Huge thanks to all who aided in her rescue and transport to Wings of Wonder.

She is recovering quite well and seems so greatly appreciative of her daily free meals and a warm and safe place to sleep. Because of the unseasonably warm weather we are experiencing, I moved her outside into our large 100 foot aviary yesterday with Doolin, our resident turkey vulture. Doolin seems a bit reserved...probably wondering what she is! He intently watches her and follows her, of course from a safe distance. She seems rather uninterested in his "stalking" behavior. I am sure, within a short time, the 2 vultures will be perching side by side. Vultures, unlike other raptors, are quite social and seem to delight in hanging out together. Stay tuned for future updates.

BALD EAGLE RELEASE

Wings of Wonder is inviting the public to our first bald eagle release of the year. We will be releasing an adult female bald eagle on Friday, February 3 at 7500 Odawa Circle, in Harbor Springs.
