Exciting Upcoming Events!

Another warm winter week has quickly gone by here at the hospital. We've had an exciting week with several education programs and the release of an adult Mourning Dove that suffered a fractured wing after having been hit by a car. We released the dove on the South Shore near where he was found and he flew beautifully!

We've taken time in the last few weeks before our spring baby season begins to plan some exciting events open to the public. We hope you'll be able to join us for a few this spring!
