Meet Catie, our spring intern at the nature center! She's a student at The College at Brockport - State University of New York. After being a little unsure about handling a snake, she's now a big fan of Harley, our eastern kingsnake. He is a lovable guy!
On her first full day at the nature center, Catie was already assisting with an animal rescue. This loon was found on the beach. I showed her how to carefully scoop him up - which means stay well away from the bill! I could feel it's bite even through the thick Kevlar gloves. We're not completely sure what happened to this poor bird...possibly a shark bite? It's doing well at BEAKS, though, and we expect a full recovery and release!
