Day 270


Went to the Merrimack River Eagle Festival in Newburyport today.
It was presented by Mass Audubon;s Joppa Flats Education Center and the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.

This is Teddy...
Teddy is a great example of the smallest species of owl in New England. He was an adult when he flew into a window in Old Saybrook during 2001. Although he is able to fly a little, he cannot sustain long flights, which would allow him to migrate to Canada each spring. He also joins Wind Over Wings in Clinton CT, from the Branford River Raptor Center who rehabilitated him during his initial injury. Teddy is so calm during environmental education programs that he often falls asleep on the glove.
