Reply To: | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 16 Oct 2006 19:25:22 -0400391_US-ASCII I made a quick visit to the Deer Creek Reservoir this afternoon. Unfortunately it turned out to be a crappy day with rain or drizzle the whole time I was there, so birding was limited. The water level is finally being let down there, and mudflats are beginning to appear at the north end near Pancoastburg.

Would you like the chance to study and compare Ohio's raptors up close?
Here is your chance - with many individuals of almost every species that can be
found in Ohio.
Back to the Wild Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Education Center,
located in Castalia, Ohio, will be having an Open House Sunday Oct. 29 from 9:00 AM
until dark. This open house will also include an indoor garage sale.
You may have seen Back to the Wild's displays, including live raptors, at
such events as International Migratory Bird Day at Magee Marsh and Lake Erie
Wing Watch. The animals and displays shown there are just the tip of the
iceberg compared to the live animals, taxidermy displays, study skins, and more
to be seen at this facility.
BTTW is home to many animals that are non-releasable due to injuries they
have suffered. These animals are used in educational programs that reach over
50,000 children and adults every year. The center houses large numbers of
raptors and many other species of birds, mammals, and reptiles that can be
found in Ohio. For more information, and directions, go to

Mona Rutger, owner and operator of BTTW, was nominated for Animal Planet's
Hero of the Year. Thanks to the support of many of you, Mona had a very
strong lead when public voting concluded Oct. 8th but Animal Planet's rules
(posted on their web site, but a bit difficult to find) stated that this would only
count as 25% of the judges' decision. The winner has not yet been announced.
As many of you know, wildlife rehabilitators receive no funding and rely on
donations to met their many expenses. Even if Mona does win Animal Planet's
substantial award, she still needs our continuing support. Enjoy your visit
her open house and contribute generously to help BTTW continue its work.
