Wildlife Rescue President, Preston Doughty, and Wildlife Rescue Raptor Rehabber, Sallie Delahoussaye, setup and manned a booth at the Smithville Wildlife Extravaganza on Saturday, April 8, 2006. In the photo on the right, you can see Sallie nose to nose with Crosby. Crosby is a Screech Owl that has been in Sallie’s care for years. He is not a releasable animal. So, Crosby makes his home with Sallie and makes regular appearances at educational events like these to help people learn more about Screech Owls and what they need to survive in the wild.

The picture on the left shows the Wildlife Rescue booth that is used at various fundraiser and educational events. If you take a second look, you’ll see a hawk perched quietly while waiting for snack time.
