Last weekend was the annual Sportsmen's Show in Anchorage. It was packed to the gills as usual with booths displaying inflatable rafts, wind generators, bear-proof fences, hunting rifles, GPS systems that let you keep track of your dog, and the usual camping gear and hiking boots. I stopped by the Bird Treatment and Learning Center booth to find out about volunteer opportunities. Tuliqi is already a donor to this great Anchorage organization which takes care of injured birds and abandoned chicks. Bird TLC gained fame recently when it took care of the dozens of bald eagles that nearly drowned in a truck full of fish slime - not the finest moment for our noble national symbol! Anyway, I discovered the Bird TLC needs volunteers every spring to take care of and feed baby birds. The training class is on May 6 so I've signed up.
