#BirdOfTheDay 🦅
#Grounded

A #BaldEagle at the #VermontInstituteOfNaturalScience in #Quechee, #Vermont. The raptors at #VINS, due to injuries or other conditions, are unable to live in the wild and are thus, in a sense, grounded.

What would a visit to Vermont be without a block of handcrafted reserve cheddar cheese? From Crowley Cheese near in Mt. Holly, Vermont.

The historic Dewey House in Hartford, Vermont. Painted in grey with black & white trim with a veranda & a white picket fence in front. I love the way this house looks and I love New England architecture in general.

Meet Elmwood, Ambassador for Bald Eagles. Sadly, Elmwood passed away last Spring after 24 years at VINS.

This is either Cody or Arizona (I can’t tell which is which), an Ambassador for Golden Eagles. Sadly, Cody passed away last Spring after 27 years at VINS.
