As a dedicated “Raptor Runner,” Gaby picks up injured birds from Franklin Lakes Animal Hospital and takes them to TRT for care. After making a few drop-offs, Gaby was impressed by the work being done here and decided to join our team! She is beloved by staff, and also serves as an excellent Volunteer Trainer.

Being a passionate birdwatcher, Gaby was always used to seeing birds through binoculars, so it has been a special experience for her to see her avian friends up close with the staff and other volunteers.

 

It has only made Gaby a better birder! Gaby is partial to all Raptors, but her favorite bird is a Great Horned Owl. Gaby has helped us release many Great Horned Owls and she says, “Nothing beats watching a GHO shuffle out of the carrier, shake and fluff its feathers, then 'magically' disappearing into the night without a sound.”

Gaby also enjoys being able to connect with visitors at The Raptor Trust, answering questions and instilling appreciation in youngsters. The Raptor Trust would not be the same without Gaby, her devotion to conversation does not go unnoticed. Thank you!
