Rabbit Meadows is a rescue group out of Seattle. We’ve subsequently rescued feral rabbit populations from Rocky Reach Dam in Wenatchee, Seattle’s Woodland Park, and the Aqua Barn of Kent, insuring each rabbit a safe haven to live out the rest of their life at Rabbit meadows without threat of harm.

These birds certainly have a big fan in Alex Washoe, a freelance writer and bookseller in Seattle, WA. Four several years, I’ve been a volunteer at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

We will cover nearly 3000 miles driving before we reach Seattle, and our final stop. We had already planned on at least one night in Eugene, and spending a day at Fern Ridge Wildlife Area. Now we are on our way to Seattle, The Billy Frank Jr. Well, I have to admit there have been times when it has seemed like that.

Helpfully, a Massachusetts wildlife biologist quoted in the article recommends standing up to bully turkeys instead of turning tail. And if you’re in the Seattle area during the next few weeks, you can check out Thankskilling the Musical. Perhaps inspired by The Birds , these birds often tend to be aggressive around people.
