I spoke too soon about Tina and Berry starting their jobs at Chattahoochee Nature Center, but they are still hired. The past 2 weeks have been chock full of news, so read on!
There is a very cute short video of them drinking milk. You can find it, and other videos, here: The channel is called Winilula

Little dove
A dear little Mourning dove nestling came in and was here for a few days while we waited on transport to Wild Nest Bird Rehab. I maintain my USFWS migratory bird permit so birds can safely and legally come to me. However, I’m not fully set up for birds, so they end up at Wild Nest. You can learn more about them here. Wild Nest Bird Rehab.
This winter and donation request
It’s just not slowing down here. I don’t remember the last time I had so many overwintering animals. 15 opossums! The grocery bills will be high as I feed a varied and balanced diet. Tonight was sardines, bok choy ( a favorite!), pear, cauliflower and an orange segment. If you are able, I would appreciate help in the grocery department. If you’d like to buy a gift card, my local store is Ingles.
Gift cards and Community Rewards
You can check out Ingles here: Ingles.
There is a Kroger nearby, too. One neat thing about Kroger is a program where a percentage of every sale made by people signed up goes towards Primarily ‘Possums.Â
Information about Kroger Community Rewards- anyone can sign up, not just locals, and it’s free for you! can be found here: Kroger Community Rewards
Other ways to donate
Primarily ‘Possums has a PayPal and a Venmo account. There is even a Patreon, which makes regular donating easy.
I try not to ask for donations unless I have a real need. This winter is going to be a long one with a lot of meals to make.
The awesome volunteers
Thank you to my volunteers Rich, Dawn, Sydney, Muaj, Maggie and Krista for always having my back and being willing to pitch in regardless of the task.
And thank you, to you, for reading!
