On Episode #55 I talk with bird rehabilitator and author Suzie Gilbert. Here is a photo of Suzie with a Red-tailed Hawk.

I have had little to no experience with bird rehabilitation centers or the people who work at or operate these facilities prior to talking with Suzie Gilbert. On this episode Suzie tells us about how she came to be a bird rehab volunteer and over time came to own and operate her own rehab center out of her home. After I talked with Suzie and we agreed to do this episode I downloaded and read her latest novel, Unflappable, in the Kindle version. I read it over the weekend, a fun read and pretty much a page-turner as I raced to follow the fate of the heroine as she avoids police, National Wildlife personnel and a jealous abusive billionaire husband on a crazy quest type journey. After reading the novel I was even more excited to talk Suzie.
Here is a photo of the cover of her novel.

She did not disappoint me as a fun, informative and IMHO very interesting guest. I hope you enjoy. 

You can buy Unflappable at Amazon or Barnes and Noble online.

Her website is SuzieGilbert.com

We talk about her time as a writer for 10,000 Birds, a top birding blog.  

Here is a link to the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association website Suzie mentioned where you can learn lots about bird and other wildlife rehab. 

Be sure to check out my blog post with more details about the episode at Birdbanter.com.

 

Until next time. 

Good birding. Good day!
