5 Overall Experience   
We are heros for this non-profit organaization and we are made to feel that way.

I have gained more insight about raptors, the environment, and people. Everything I have been asked to do is within my range of expertise and has been so appreciated that the good feeling stays with me for a couple of days. posted on February 20, 2008
