Julie is Finance & Administration Manager for the California Rice Commission, and a big proponent of trying new recipes- especially if they feature California rice.
You know, one would think with an event name “Wings and Wine,” we were going to try some yummy hot wings and taste some great wine! Well, we did taste some great wine, but this very special event, held at High-Hand Nursery in Loomis, was to benefit Gold Country Wildlife Rescue, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife.
The presence of raptors in California ricelands is well known and we were fortunate to spend an exciting evening with magnificent birds of prey, including owls, hawks, falcons and even a beautiful eagle!
We were able to take some memorable photos of rescued birds, a blind White-tailed Kite and an injured Swainson’s Hawk.
It is comforting to know that the trained volunteers with Gold Country Wildlife Rescue are there to contribute their time and money to help provide long-term care to these injured birds of prey.
