Coachella Wild Bird Center

All of the birds housed at the Center have been injured and are either permanent residents or just doing a little physical therapy and will be released into the wild upon graduation.  

Siva is a falcon, but without seeing the daily intake and entree preference, you really don't get the whole picture. :)

In the cage right next to Siva were two very alive California Quail. Cruel joke. 

As we walked around, the workers were talking shop...
"I took 15 mice out of the freezer for tomorrow."  YUM.

It was a great field trip and the workers/volunteers were quite animated when talking about the birds in their care.
I think it is with such love that our heavenly Father moves in all of us a desire to use the gifts He gives each of us.  

A recuperating Kestrel with beautiful coloring.

Ulia, is a Great Horned Owl who apparently eats 3 - 4 mice per day.
