t's hard to get photos of the vultures because they all love the camera a bit too much! As soon as they see it, all you end up with is a bunch of very up close blur-snoots.
Happy Holidays from all of us here at the Foxloft!
A big welcome to Misha, our newest ambassador! This eager, inquisitive young turkey vulture was found with a healed, misaligned broken wing, so he can't go back to a life in the wild. He now joins Minerva in helping people learn about how awesome and important his wild cousins are! 🪶

Good morning!
Sending wishes of safety to all our Florida friends, and everyone impacted by the recent storms.
Some of this year's crop of crow kids, out in our pre-release aviary, building up their muscles and learning to be wild crows. They're already making friends with the local crow family and will be ready for their second chance at a fresh start again soon!
Long-eared owl, Soví Voliéry. Had a great visit to see family (and drag them to look at many birds).
Not all bats live in colonies!
Eastern red bats are a solitary, migratory bat that lives in trees. They often snuggle down into leaf litter to keep warm, which makes them vulnerable to being grabbed by dogs or cats. That's what landed this young one in rehab with us.
Once again I'm not quite sure about these contractors we keep getting. This one was seemed very eager, but kept stealing zip ties. I think they delayed aviary construction more than helped it.
