Cynthia Daily

Discovery Bay Wild Bird Rescue is directed by Cynthia Daily, a state and federally licensed wildlife rehabilitator for all types of birds. Cynthia has been a rehabilitator for over 38 years, starting in Albuquerque, NM in 1986. She moved to Port Townsend in 1994 when she started Discovery Bay Raptor Rehabilitation and Education Center. 

Serving the Olympic Peninsula, they have over 30 outdoor enclosures that can accommodate an assortment of birds and their special needs. Their organization takes in and releases hundreds of wild birds each year, ranging from the tiniest hummingbirds, native songbirds, crows, ravens, seabirds, waterfowl, owls and other large raptors such as bald eagles and hawks.

The Wild Bird Rescue Center has recently added a medical room with X-ray and surgical capabilities. The Center receives 400 to 500 birds annually and relies primarily on public funding.

Ms. Daily will present her wide range of experiences at 7:00 p.m. on June 21 at the Dungeness River Nature Center. An assortment of glove-trained raptors will be in attendance and sharing their stories!
