Anyhooooooo.....all was not lost :D
Please met Wahoohoo (Cherokee for owl). She's a sweet 15 year old barred owl girl (they figured out five years ago she was a girl, not sure how). She was rescued long ago, but imprinted so is unable to be returned to the wild. She's not shy at all, she's a sweetie. They did let everybody touch her (she's soft, like puppy fur), but we received the special treatment, because we bought t-shirts, made in her honor (and I'm assuming to benefit her care:) Last night, we heard a barred owl, RIGHT at the edge of our backyard woods (she's been there before)...had NO idea it was a sign that we'd get to meet and hold her beautiful cousin the very next day!
they had a fairy house competition for different age groups...this was my favorite:
Mostly it was an event to benefit this wonderful wildlife refuge! We LOVE this place! We walked around and saw some of the other rescues:
gopher tortoise...the state reptile of Georgia
bison....we saw LOTS of these on our trip out west!
grey wolf
Since we were already in the mode, we stopped at the Savannah Wildlife Refuge (the part you can drive through is actually in South Carolina) and took a few photos of the girls......SO peaceful here!
oh, and I saw some beautiful blooming lily pads!
a peaceful day was had by all!
xoxo
