On Friday, our Sky Vets Initiative helped this bull elephant, who'd been seen limping. Turns out he had a 4" hole in his foot! KWS vet Dr. Mijele suspects it was caused by a sharp piece of tree stump. Wound cleaned & treated, medications administered, he was off on his way 🩹🐘

My birthday fell Saturday after Thanksgiving. Spent the day on the Susquehanna River, below the Conowingo Dam, watching bald eagles and blue herons, shooting the breeze with Bob Gilley, who shot this amazing pic and others in the story. Pretty nice b'day 🦅baltimoremagazine.com/section/
