If you’re a bird lover, or even a nature lover, in my state with access to car transportation, I’m betting you were there.
We got to witness the release of three broad winged hawks and the biggest bald eagle I have ever seen.
Here are some pics of the gorgeous ambassadors!

Please help El get rent before it's late on the 6th. El is so sick with fatigue that last night they couldn't make and eat solid food for dinner. It's incredibly urgent to get El in a position to rest.
Now at $662 of $925 for Sept. rent! Thank you all SO much.
Every share & donation crafts a safety net for me as I leave a toxic job that’s been hell on my body and mind, & put my effort into recovery, rest, & rebuilding my freelance client list — all in the company of my wonderful elderly pup.
