Quintana Neotropical Bird Sanctuary

Our bird sanctuary on Quintana Island did not fare well with the winds and storm surge from Ike.  Fortunately the tower is still standing but most of the large trees were snapped off. 

Surprisingly, both ponds are still recognizable.

The benches are strewn about like playthings but oddly enough the signs remained in place.

Good old Ebony and Oak trees.  They weathered the storm well.

The swings remain in place but the vegetation around them is a mess.

At this point we do not know how much of the vegetation will die from the salt water immersion that it received.  In a few weeks, we will know more.  If you would like to help out with clean up at Quintana, please stay tuned to our website for workday announcements or consider making a monetary donation by clicking on the donate now button on our webpage.
