C'mon folks. Let's get those dollars in to the Raptor Center.
Tom and I had 90 Great Gray Owl sightings this season and donated $1 per bird plus a little more. This has been an extraordinary birding event. Let's give the Raptor Center some help. With the matching grant, each of us can really make a difference here.
