Lindsay Wildlife Museum

One day while passing through Concord, we stopped at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. It was pretty cool, there were some rescue animals (mostly birds) that could no longer survive in the wild for one reason or another. The birds (owls, hawks, turkey vultures, etc.) sat up on top of the cages, unrestrained. At first, we thought that the birds were stuffed, so you can imagine our surprise when one of the birds started moving. I may have jumped a little. Or a lot.
As long as no one was up as high as them, the birds were fine. The lady said that she was surprised that they weren't threatened by Keith, because of his height.


Every time I tried to get a picture of this owl, it would turn its head away. I would walk away and it would face forward again. I'd walk back over to take a picture and it would turn it's head again.


There was a cool kids area too, but seeing how we don't have kids..... I can't tell you more about it.
There was a historic local Native American exhibit in the basement that was pretty interesting as well.

We didn't time it right to see any of the feedings or presentations but maybe next time. : )

Neat birds! That's so cool. And, regarding the post prior to this one: exactly how many pull-ups does one have to do to earn a free water bottle???
