The Orange County Parks Commission did a field visit to the Orange County Bird of Prey Center in O’Neill Regional Park today. Friends of Harbors, Beaches & Parks (FHBP) Board members Jim Carr and Michael Wellborn (also a Parks Commissioner) were joined by Coastal Cities Commissioner Joe Muller and Inland Cities Commissioner Dave Shawver. Commissioner Muller presented retiring Parks Director Stacy Blackwood a gift as this was her final Commission meeting. And, she was given the honor of doing a release of a red tail hawk! Way cool!
We are so grateful for the years of dedication and hard work Ms. Blackwood has put in. We will miss her dearly.
