A PELICAN AT THE SUNCOAST SEABIRD SANCTUARY
Back in May, I posted an article and photos about the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary. They just sent me a request for a public service announcement which I’m delighted to publish. Here’s their message:
The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary is the largest nonprofit, wild bird hospital and sanctuary in the U.S. based on the admission of up to 10,000 injured birds annually. Open 365 days a year from 9:00 a.m. until sunset, hundreds of permanently injured birds live here in this beachfront sanctuary. Educational tours presented at 2:00pm Weds. and Sundays, and groups of 8 or more can call to schedule private tours. The Educational Center and Gift Shop are open until 5:00 p.m.daily. FREE Admission but donations greatly needed. Volunteers are in great need and are trained to assist in many areas including; beach monitors, bird counts, educational docents, hands on rescues and training. Located at 18328 Gulf Blvd., Indian Shores, Fl 33785. 727-391-6211. (See Seabirdsanctuary.com.)
So…if you enjoy nature and the water’s edge and you want to be of service, please consider volunteering with the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary. They really need our help.
