A cloudy afternoon spent at the Bird Sanctuary on Long Boat Key. What a  wonderful place with a meaningful message for the kids about nature, love, compassion, kindness and being environmentally conscious.

Rescue, heal, release and if the birds injuries are too severe they have a forever home at the sanctuary…

Like this gorgeous guy- whose wing was too severely injured, by a car, to be released back into the wild. He will now be cared for by the sanctuary for the rest of his life.

We also saw this whacky ass mama bird…. they can’t fix crazy so she’ll be released back into the wild shortly.
