A request from a cyber-friend

Laura asked me if I could do a post about the histories of our program birds. And I say heck yeah, I can do that!

· Turkey Vulture – “Earl” admitted 6/2/84! as a nestling. Imprinted on humans..
was taken from the nest very young and kept as a "pet" for 2 weeks before coming to RAPTOR. Let's just say that Earl has a mental problem!
