wooo I went and did the thing today! they have bear cubs and bobcat cubs and a baby seal, and I got to see baby opossums and raccoons and a scrub jay (who was EXTREMELY IRATE that we were NOT GIVING IT FOOD), and glimpsed a juvenile bald eagle, and made formula for deer fawns. and tomorrow I start on my scheduled shift of Friday afternoons! :D
@green Went to the zoo? :-}
@emanate nope, the PAWS wildlife center! https://www.paws.org/wildlife/ tomorrow I get to go back and do my first shift as a volunteer there. dunno what I'll be doing--probably lots of cleaning and mixing food/formula, but I was also told that the second seasonal batch of baby squirrels usually show up around August, and that I'll have "baby squirrels coming out my ears." sooo that'll be fun! XD
@green Oooh, neat!
OH AND several juvenile crows, a couple of squirrels, and a turtle. evidently the turtles need to have their shells cleaned, very carefully and delicately, because they have some kind of fungus, also they're endangered. I hope I get to do that at some point. :D
