The Feb. 10 meeting of the Straits Area Audubon Society beginning at 7 p.m. will feature a presentation by Dr. Carl Palazzolo regarding medical care of wild birds.

This presentation is being done online, via Zoom, in order to allow members and others interested in the presentation to remain safe in their homes during the pandemic, while learning some new information. It is free and open to the public, with the link to the meeting being posted at http://www.straitsareaaudubon.com.

"Presenter Dr. Carl Palazzolo has served with the Long Beach Animal Hospital in California since graduating from Michigan State University Veterinarian School in 1978," said Jim Bricker of Straits Area Audubon Society. "Dr. Palazzolo spends summers near Harbor Springs."

Bricker said Palazzolo has been giving talks for several decades, all of which have been entertaining, informative and also sprinkled with some humor.

When Palazzolo is in Northern Michigan, he hosts veterinarian training programs to help new veterinarians gain experience and confidence in the growing field of wildlife care. His presentation will feature a behind-the-scenes view of providing medical care for injured wildlife and exotic animals, especially birds.

During his career, he has also donated his time for birds and other wild animals and taking care of them. He has also lead several trips to countries like Tsavo and Borneo to look at other wildlife such as lions and orangutans.

"His stories and examples will include the diagnosis, treatment, and release of a barn owl that was hanging by its wing under an overpass, a red-tailed hawk with a fractured wing, and repairing an injured eye on an owl. We are super excited to host him all the way from California," said Herm Boatin, Straits Area Audubon Society president.

The program will cover substantial medical information that is seldom available to the public. Some of the photos are graphic in nature because they are taken from actual surgical procedures.

Besides the general public who care about animals, the presentation is ideal for budding wildlife rehabbers and students who want to learn more about wildlife and veterinary medicine," said Boatin.

It is the goal of the Straits Area Audubon Society to educate the public about the natural environment. Normally, the monthly meetings of the group are hosted at the Cheboygan Area Public Library, in the downstairs meeting room. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the meetings have switched online, via Zoom.
