Finally!

Okay getting to this quicker than I thought. Back from helping my friend and you will see pictures later on that. So here I will share with you what has been going on and getting you up to day.

A few weeks ago I started up running again, and was doing really well I went running 4 times that week. It would have been more, but I hurt my back at work prepping for our fawn release and had some pain in my lower back :( It was better after a few days and then.... it got cold here... like below freezing and my drive to run got zapped. Temps are starting to come back up so I hope to get out there again soon, and also do some running when I head down to North Bend at the end of this week.

Eagles perched at work.

Animals were really slow coming in.. .like hadn't had any new arrivals in almost 2 weeks, then we got 5 in 2 days. Crazy for being December, some of the new kids include a Western Screech Owl, a Cooper's Hawk, a GW Gull, Fox Sparrow. But with getting all those in we also released our 5 fawns of the year. That makes me very happy, and hopefully the last time we have to use my truck to haul the trailer, as we now have the jeep which is being equipped with a tow hitch/receiver.

Our new little owl, hit by a car. I think there may only be minor head trauma there. at least I hope.

Cooper's Hawk, hit a window.. Seems to just have been stunned and weak. He/she is outside gaining strength.

Mr. Whitenose decided beside the compost was a warm place to sun himself in the freeze.

What happens when temps hit freezing and a stand pipe leaks.

All 5 of our fawns wander off. The last one is the wonky leg girl!

The big dark guy is in front. Remember the dark little fawn?

Checking on the others.

Of course there has been some nights out.. Karaoke, playing pool/darts, and just having an all around good time.

I hope you enjoyed the catch up! Til next time... have fun and keep out of trouble. I will be leaving for North Bend next Thursday to spend over a week at my brother's for the holiday. We will see what that week will bring.
