Florida Wildlife Hospital

I had my first shift volunteering for the Florida Wildlife Hospital today. A lot of the things they do are very similar to the Four Lakes Wildlife Center where I volunteered in Madison but then they have things like tortoises and pelicans. I spent most of the shift feeding baby song birds including a woodpecker, mocking birds, blue jays, grackles, and some other birds. One of the birds had mites which I discovered by the wonderful creepy crawly sensation on my arm. Lots of fun on the first day. I also got to feed the pelicans which was awesome and amusing. I saw adorable little possums, a baby sand hill crane, and a baby red shouldered hawk. Afterwards I went to Devin’s and we made shishkabobs for dinner.
