Feeling fly on this Tuesday, introducing our other Senior Social Media Co-Chair, Adeline Fogle!

“Hey y’all! My name is Adeline and I’m going into my second year as a raptor co-chair. Over the last year, I have learned so much about the wildlife in Louisiana and have been given so many opportunities to educate the public. Talking to the community during presentations is a highlight of my co-chair experience. As I move into this next year, I am excited to work with Kirsten to serve as the social media co-chairs to highlight the wonderful birds I have the honor of working with. So excited to see what this year will hold!“

Happy to have Adeline on this team! Go Adeline!🦅

Taking flight into Tuesday, we will be introducing our other Head Co-Chair, Abigail Gunby!

“Hi! My name is Abigail Gunby and I’m a second year from Denham Springs, Louisiana. I am so excited to serve as our Presentation Head Co-Chair. I joined this team last year knowing public speaking was not my favorite, but I have become a number one fan. It brings me so much joy seeing the community get excited about conservation and wanting to do what’s best to protect our local wildlife. I cannot wait to lead this team, alongside my other fellow head co-chair, and to continue to build the strong dedication and sisterhood that makes it so special (of course, the birds also make it so special). I am incredibly grateful for the friendships and lifelong bonds this organization has given me.”

Our team is lucky to have a great leader. Go Abigail! 🦅

“Hi everyone! I’m a second year from Memphis, TN, and I am so excited to serve as our Scheduling Head Co-Chair! I wanted to be a Head Co-Chair to be more involved with the program. I also enjoy problem solving and working closely with the team and the other head co-chair, Abigail, to make sure the birds are taken care of and that the team feels comfortable around one another.

Finally Friday 🦅! Rounding out the first year Raptor Co-chairs is Anne-Marie Elser.

“Hello friends! My name is Anne-Marie :) I am a first-year vet student from Little Rock, AR, and I LOVE BIRDS! Before vet school, I gained a strong passion for conservation and education about all animals, especially birds, as a Hoofstock and Birds Zookeeper, and being a Raptor Co-Chair is the perfect opportunity for me to pursue this passion while in school. I am so excited to continue working with the resident birds as I learn their fun personalities, the transient raptors as I help get them to the ultimate goal of release, and the surrounding community as I share the importance of these birds in our environment!“

Welcome to the team Anne-Marie! You will bring so many unique experiences to the team and the birds!

Let’s sink our talons into this Thursday! It’s time to introduce our next 1st year on the roster. Hello Emerson Lejong!

“My name is Emerson Lejong, and I am a first year very student at LSU from Greenwood, Arkansas! Growing up between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, I spent a lot of my time outside listening and observing the birds and other animals, which is what inspired me to want to become a wildlife veterinarian and be a part of the Raptor Rehab team. I am so grateful and excited to get to be a part of a team that educates the public about the importance of raptors and birds as a whole, as well as what they can be doing to make the world a better place for these wonderful animals!”

Welcome to the team Emerson! So excited to see your positive impact on the wildlife of Louisiana!

I am looking forward to growing my knowledge of veterinary medicine (especially birds)!”
