If you love wildlife, particularly birds, you should know about a non-profit organization in Sarasota called Save Our Seabirds. They have a rehabilitation center and hospital where trained volunteers do amazing work. The facility is open to the public, and that's where I saw this Sandhill Crane yesterday. Its leg was injured, and the rescue team worked with a prosthesis designer to fit it with an artificial limb. He looked like he was getting around quite well with it. There are a couple other Sandhill Cranes at the rehab center with prostheses. You can read all about the Sandhill Crane prosthesis project in this interesting article. It's so heartwarming to know there are people doing such incredible volunteer work.
