She is also the technical director at Somerset County Soil and Water Conservation District, where she does a variety of bird-related programs, according to a news release from the library.

The 2021 admissions include orphaned and injured eagles, owls, hawks, loons, bitterns, herons, ducks, and many species of songbirds.
