How Cute Is This Pinecone?

October 12, 2018 By Kimberly A. Cook 1 Comment

When bad things happen to people and animals in our country, we respond. One fine feathered example is little Pinecone, a baby Screech owl who needed a helping hand after a bad rain storm.

Staff at the Cascades Raptor Center made sure he grew up strong. Now he has a new home at the Oregon Zoo.

How cute is this little guy?

Take care of each other and have a safe weekend. Happy Quirky Friday!

Harvey the Hurricane Hawk Doing Better

September 1, 2017 By Kimberly A. Cook Leave a Comment

September. We made it. Hugs to Houston, the entire populations of Texas and Louisiana, all the emergency responders, Texas National Guard, military personnel, federal personnel, volunteer rescuers, animal rescue teams and non-profit organization staff too.

The Oregon Humane Society has four-members of their FEMA-certified animal rescue team in Houston. You can read about their activities here: https://www.oregonhumane.org/updates-ohs-harvey-response-team/

The Houston Zoo was not flooded and reopened today. Other folks worked heroically to rescue cats, dogs, horses, birds, beavers and even possums. The Fire Department rescued a young sea turtle who ended up a long way from the sea during the flood. He is in rehab.

Right before the hurricane hit, this little Cooper’s hawk was injured and jumped in a cab to catch a ride. Very smart little guy. He was turned over to the TWRC Wildlife Center and is on the mend with his wing injury. Here are two updates on him.

Have a safe Labor Day Weekend. Happy Quirky Friday. Donate to an organization if you can!
