Congratulations Brooke!

We would like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Mother’s out there! Photographed here is one amazing mom! This mother opossum will carry her young on ...her back, once they are old enough to leave her pouch, and teach them important skills such as how to find food and avoid predators. These babies will stay with their mom until they are about 3-4 months old, before embarking on their own journey of life. See more

Today is World Migratory Bird Day! The theme for this year is: Sing, Fly, Soar like a Bird! It is a day to explore everything that makes birds unique such as ...what makes birds sing, and the power of flight. What better way to celebrate than by going to Sams Lake Bird Sanctuary to spend the day bird watching! Thank you to one of our volunteers, Morgan Quimby, for submitting this post to us!
