Meet our Coyotes - JW and Loki

This is our one year old coyote pup that we’ve had since he was approximately 11 weeks old. We call him JW (short for John Walter)

This is JW and Loki, our other one year old coyote.  We recently introduced them together and they are getting along splendidly! They are currently off exhibit with hopes of a new on exhibit enclosure being built for them allowing us to better teach about Red Wolf and Coyote relationships.

Look for more posts on how we got them.

Bones to pick

This is a before and after of a turkey leg eaten by the vultures. 

Aren’t they good at their job!

Nap time!

After a long day at work on the computer and selecting my lunch to be

prepared, it's time for a well-deserved nap!

A good way to cool down!

This is one of my many awesome co-workers. 

When it's hot, many of them like a spritz of water!

Female Red Tailed Hawk is lucky to have lived

Have you been to the nature center and seen our female Red Tailed Hawk?

Almost all of our birds were hit by cars and the Red Tailed Hawk is no exception. These

pictures show what happened to her. 

That's wildlife rehabilitator Lynne McCoy who helped rescue her. 

The Red Tailed Hawk has a permanent shoulder injury and is partially flighted. 

She would never be able to hunt well

enough to feed herself, so she lives with us as an animal ambassador educating our visitors and school children about her species and their

importance to planet earth and its eco-systems.
