Dear NY'ers, With permission from the listowner I am cross posting this message from the NJ list. The Raptor Trust is located in the Great Swamp in NJ. Many of us have been there. They run educational exhibits and most importantly, a field hospital for injured raptors. The photos on there Facebook page are unbelievable.
Sean Sime Brooklyn, NY (formerly of Maplewood, NJ) ...Sorry for the slightly off topic message, but I think most of the readers in this news group share an interest in the Raptor Trust. This message was posted on the Atlantic Audubon Society website by Kathy Peterson and I thought I'd share it here: The Raptor Trust experienced a tornado-like storm on Monday and many of the rehab enclosures were severely damaged or destroyed. Amazingly, no humans or birds suffered injury and their main building and surgery are still standing. They need donations now to rebuild the enclosures, especially with fall migration occurring and winter closing in. If you wish to help, donations can be sent directly to: The Raptor Trust, 1390 White Bridge Road, Millington, NJ 07946 or through their website at http://theraptortrust.org/dona... <http://theraptortrust.org/donations/> They said the damage is far worse than what they experienced with Hurricane Sandy. There are pictures of the destruction on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/thera... <https://www.facebook.com/theraptortrust.> Thanks for any help you can give! - See more at: http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=532238&MLID=NJ01&MLNM=New%20Jersey#sthash.iEXwQ1Qn.dpuf -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
