Open Door Bird Sanctuary Hosts Winter Open Days

Rob Hults and Mesa welcome you to the Open Door Bird Sanctuary. Submitted.

Open Door Bird Sanctuary (opendoorbirdsanctuary.org) will host its third annual winter Open Days on Feb. 13 and March 13, 11 am – 3 pm. Stop by to hike, snowshoe or cross-country ski (supply your own equipment) on the trails; enjoy the bonfire and warm beverages; and meet some resident raptors, too! Admission for the general public is $3. 

The sanctuary is also introducing its newest resident: a seven-year-old golden eagle named Mesa. Although he has no visual appearance of a disability, he is not flighted. Signs of arthritis in his left shoulder are visible on X-rays taken by a veterinarian in Mesa’s home state of Utah, but he’s in good health otherwise and should have a good, long life ahead at the sanctuary.
