A wildlife rehabilitator friend, newly licensed, recently called to ask if he could feed a recovering Turkey Vulture anything besides defrosted rodents.

In fact, it’s hard to think of a wildlife watching activity I’m more conflicted about, other than perhaps alomost industrial levels of diving in fragile reefs (or the remains thereof). On the one hand it can be an outstanding opportunity to see wildlife you usually don’t, and if done carefully it doesn’t do any harm.

I went to the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival in Titusville, Florida. I did finally get Snowy Owls in Queens , even if they did cause a bit of controversy. I also spent a bunch of time on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and, as usual, managed to see some birds on workdays. Oh, and there were mammals too.

And it had to start at 5:45 am, because if we wanted owls this was when we had to get them. It was a dark and foggy ride into Nags Head Woods, the only forest of any sort on the islands, and we paused every few hundred meters and listened for owls. Though our focus was birds, there’s plenty of other wildlife on the islands.

but that's pretty much it for mammals. I think I heard an owl once last winter. I'm not out in the country either (despite the wildlife.) We do have a possum and a raccoon that live somewhere on the property. And I have found one small dead garden snake in the street. Lots of squirrels, chipmunks, deer, rabbits.
