The day after arrival, we drove to the World Bird Sanctuary located in the woods west of St. Louis, Missouri.
This is Dorothy, an Andean Condor. She was hatched at WBS and is part of a species survival program.
Meet Scoop, an American White Pelican who was rescued due to a major shoulder injury. He has been a long time resident, and cannot be released, due to a partial wing amputation.
Two silly birds, Andria and Nick.
This Golden Eagle has an amazing history (above and below).
Andria nabbed the rehab manager and asked if we could have a tour of the clinic. He happily led us around inside where we saw a number of mending owls, eagles, and hawks. 
Nora attending to her home built bird feeder. This was two days later after a 5 inch snowfall.
Dave sitting on the remnants of an unsuccessful snow man.
Heading up the street to the park where there are some small hills to sled on.
Nick crafted this cute little guy.
Christmas morning means... costume time! Nick looking very much like the young Frank Zappa.
Codger, Frank, and the Veterinarian.
