Some of my favorite photos/stories of 2008.
Appaloosa stallion and part of his herd on Cumberland Island. He protects the best grazing spot on the island, near the historical ruins of Dungeness. We've watched him spar with a younger stallion to keep his mares, and also seen a few of his foals while they were less than a week old.
JuJu and William were two feral kittens that were caught and kept at the nature center until they found wonderful homes - JuJu with Amanda Clark and William with another AIP employee. Their mom was also trapped and spayed.
2008 also seemed to be the year of the squirrels. We had quite a few come in, some orphaned, others injured. Some did not make it, others we raised and released or turned over to the Wildlife Rescue Coalition in Jacksonville. Getting a flying squirrel in was a perfect end to the year.

The colorful bird on our feeder is a male painted bunting, who visit us in the summer.
And, of course, Simon and Rascal the baby possums will always hold a place in our hearts, and in everyone that got to meet them. They were wonderful ambassadors for their species and we miss them!
