A
new year excites us because of its possibilities. And for Lindsay Wildlife
Experience, 2019 promises to be a transformational year. For 28 years, Lindsay has occupied its current building and done amazing work within it. Yet, with environmental issues in the
news every day, we feel the increasing urgency to do more to inspire people to live responsibly with our wild companions on this earth. I am happy to tell you about several initiatives that will help us expand our capabilities in delivering on our vital mission. The first and most important initiative is our search

undertaken with a firm specializing in nonprofit leadership recruitment. Because Lindsay has such a strong team of staff and volunteers, our next executive director must be able to not only support that team but also lead Lindsay forward into a new chapter. That means building more partnerships and a more robust financial base, finding more ways to engage the public, and creating an expanded footprint so we can reach more

children, teens and adults in the Bay Area and beyond. The second initiative is already underway as well: pursuing possibilities for expanding Lindsay’s physical space. As you know, optimizing and expanding our space is a key part of our current strategic plan. We are actively talking to the city of Walnut Creek while also exploring other possibilities for enlarging and modernizing our rehabilitation and education facilities and animal ambassador housing. The third initiative is also in process: continuing to make better use of our current space and create more engaging and interactive programs and exhibits. The Eagle Eyrie is one of the first of these projects scheduled for completion this year. All of these initiatives represent a piece of the exciting promise of 2019. For those donors, members and lovers of Lindsay for the past year and all of our 64 years, we say thank you! Hold onto your hats as we launch our mission beyond our current walls! Best,

MARCH MEMBER MADNESS We celebrate our more than 4,000 members during March with activities, giveaways and more.
• Join us March 30 for Mountain Lion Madness! Get up close to some purrrfect felines, including a baby mountain lion. • Enjoy an additional 5 percent off in the Lindsay Wildlife Gift Shop. This is on top of the 10 percent members already enjoy. • Collect a free Lindsay prize when you visit during the month of March (limited to one per family during the month).
MEET OUR NEW ANIMAL AMBASSADOR: WESTERN SCREECH OWL Discover one of Lindsay’s newest raptors: Cypress, the western screech owl! This owl was found at Banner Mountain near Nevada City, just 3 days old. Too young to survive alone, she was brought to a nearby wildlife rehabilitation facility and raised with seven other screech owls of similar age. The seven other owls were successfully returned to the wild, but this owl had already begun to show signs of imprinting on humans. It was determined that she was unable to return to the wild because she is so accustomed to people; she arrived at Lindsay Wildlife Experience in July 2018. At Lindsay’s annual fall fundraiser, she was named by major supporter Sue Angeli.

INTRODUCING
EAGLE EYRIE
Lindsay plans a special home for a special eagle Lindsay's bald eagle, Atsá, in the Animal Activity Area in the Exhibit Hall. She currently has no full-time enclosure visible to the public.
L
“ indsay Wildlife is hoping to give Atsá, our resident bald eagle, the chance to do what she instinctively longs to do but has never done: hunt for fish! In her very own stream
in her very own enclosure, Atsá may soon go fishing while de-
lighted visitors watch.

A flowing water feature is a signature element of the more than $150,000 Eagle Eyrie exhibit Lindsay leaders hope to build in the next year. Located on what has been called the “Observation Deck,” just through a set of double doors off the Exhibit Hall, the
pings, native bunch grasses and scrub brushes, a large tree, and several perching branches, as well as the water feature. “Atsá was injured at 9 weeks old, before she would have

talons grabbing fish from below the water. This novel exhibit design is something you won't be able to see anywhere else. It will have the most features and take up the biggest footprint that has ever been built on Lindsay grounds!" The future Eagle Eyrie will allow Atsá to look out on the treetops of Larkey Park. “Her view alone is a big upgrade from her current enclosure,” says Molinare, noting that the outdoor aviary in the back of Lindsay is surrounded by cement walls. “Additionally, the location will give Atsá three times the space of her current enclosure. Atsá is a special eagle and deserves a special home.” But to make this home a reality, Lindsay needs to raise $150,000 for the professional creation and installation of the exhibit dreamed up by the team at Zoological Fabrication. This is the same group that created the logs in Lindsay’s North American porcupine enclosure, and it has done installations at many zoos, museums and aquariums throughout California. The goal of this exhibit is to give people the up-close, incredible bald eagle experience visitors have come to expect at Lindsay. “Bald eagles are amazing animals to see in the wild, but not everyone is lucky enough to catch a glimpse of them up close,” Molinare says. “With the natural enclosure, guests will be transported into a riparian

habitat. Hopefully, after viewing Atsá in her home here at Lindsay, visitors will feel inspired to go outside to hike, explore and maybe even see one of these beautiful animals out in the wild.”
EAGLE EYRIE AT A GLANCE • The Eagle Eyrie will be modeled after an upland riparian habitat, with outcroppings, a large tree, several perching branches, a large water feature and tethering options. • Rock outcropping will resemble a natural fluviolacustrine transitional habitat, with attachment areas for naturalistic deadfall. • Naturalistic tree elements will include both coniferous and deciduous riparian tree species. • Exhibit will include wetland littoral zone with planters for native bunch grasses and scrub brushes. • There will be plenty of places for a bald eagle to perch.

Retrospective: 2018 A YEAR OF RENEWAL AND GROWTH, THANKS TO YOU!
T
hanks to our family of supporters, Lindsay Wildlife Experience has reached new levels of success over the past year. Together, we have continued to save the lives of injured and sick wild animals, launched and delivered high-caliber
education programs, and connected people with the natural world in new and exciting ways. From huge improvements to our infrastructure—like a new HVAC system and a long-awaited kitchen for the Animal Encounters program—to the daily care of injured animals in the hospital, your generosity has made a vital difference in the lives of animals who depend on human compassion. Your donations, memberships and volunteer hours have an immediate impact on the community, the county and this one world we are given to share and protect. Here are just a few of the ways your support made a difference in 2018:
Continued excellence at the Rehabilitation Hospital More than 5,800 animals received pioneering medical care at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital. Wildlife patients included nearly 1,000 opossums, house finches and even a juvenile bald eagle—the first of this species at Lindsay in decades.

Long-desired building updates
We were thrilled to power up a much-needed heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for our animals and their human caretakers. Purchased with help from the city of Walnut Creek, this new, state-of-the-art system is a major upgrade.

Increased and expanded education for the next generation Lindsay debuted a new lineup of field trips based on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The NGSS represent the latest research-backed principles and instructional guidelines for both formal and informal educators. It is vital for Lindsay to keep a leading edge in innovative education. This equips the young minds that come to Lindsay with the latest and most accurate information, which in turn will make them the naturalists and conservationists of tomorrow.

Our ultimate goal at Lindsay is return to the wild. Support from donors makes that possible. From two red-shouldered hawks that fell out of their nest in a windstorm, to a skunk found in a hole in Oakland, to a bobcat hit by a car—after medical care, rest and rehabilitation at Lindsay, all of these animal, and many more, went back to the wild where they belonged.

A hospital for the 21st century A life monitor—vital for wildlife patients under anesthesia— was purchased for the Rehabilitation Hospital, which allows for better patient care while on the operating table. Additionally, Lindsay partnered with UC Davis to implement a novel technique, using fish skin as a natural Band-Aid on raptors. These machines and new treatments allow Lindsay to continue to be a leader in wildlife rehabilitation.

Maximized opportunities for connecting people to wildlife To celebrate California Wildlife Day on March 20, 2018, Lindsay opened its doors for only $1 per person so all children and adults could enjoy and appreciate Lindsay’s wildlife ambassadors. All told, Lindsay had more than 80,000 visitors in 2018! That’s 80,000 chances Lindsay Wildlife had to connect people to wildlife.
With the support of people like you who care, Lindsay Wildlife Experience has been able to pioneer new ways of caring for wildlife and to inspire the connection that keeps humans and the natural world in harmony. We hope you are proud of the past year’s achievements and continue to support this important work!
