Many of you have been following Snow’s story from the Great Lakes Bald Eagle Cam. Just days ago, Snow’s world changed when the nest collapsed beneath him. At only 52 days old, he was still weeks away from fledging and not ready for a fall from that height. The collapse left Snow with fractures in both wings, and many feared the worst. Thankfully, Snow was rescued quickly and transported to North Sky Raptor Sanctuary for treatment and rehabilitation. The latest update brings some encouraging news. Snow is standing, eating well, and has begun physical therapy. Today, caregivers reported that Snow was even chattering during feeding time. For a young eagle recovering from serious injuries, that is a wonderful sign. Snow has also reached an important milestone with his first fracture alignment check as his rehabilitation team monitors how the wings are healing. It is still too early to know whether Snow will be able to return to the wild, but right now he is fighting hard and receiving excellent care every step of the way. If you would like to support Snow’s recovery and the work of the rehabilitation team caring for him, donations can be made here: North Sky Raptor Sanctuary Thank you to everyone who has been keeping Snow, Harriet, Harry, and the rehabilitation team in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️

I can’t remember a time my dreams didn’t include animals in one way or another. Starting Empowering Animals, bringing people and animals together, that is part of that dream. I have a vision. I just don’t know yet how all of it will unfold. What I do know is that something in me feels unfinished without it. Like there’s a piece of my soul that only makes sense when I’m doing this. The magazine cover was a fun AI prompt. But it also felt like a glimpse of a dream that could be. Dreams aren’t meant to show us the whole path. They just keep pointing us in a direction so we don’t forget who we are.

The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has rescued a new elephant orphan. Alia was found alone in Lumo Conservancy; she was thin, weak, and struggling. With night approaching, the Sheldrick rescue team moved quickly and brought her to safety. At first, she was nervous and withdrawn after her traumatic beginning to life. But with milk, rest, and the steady love and care of Keepers and fellow orphans, she is beginning to regain strength. Now she has gentle elephant friends who love and protect her, and she is slowly coming out of her shell. Every orphan Sheldrick rescues is ultimately reintegrated into protected wilderness. Their legacy now includes more than 90 elephant grand-calves born to ex-orphans; three wild babies already born this year. If you’d like to follow Alia’s journey, you can adopt her through Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and receive updates, photos, and videos as she grows. Here is her rescue video. 🤍
