Following is a description Debra provided of current work:

I work for the University of Minnesota.  I've been an employee of the Raptor Center ( a private non-profit rehabilitation facility on the University of Minnesota campus ) for 2 1/2 years. I travel with live birds of prey to schools, nature centers, festivals or other functions and do educational programs about raptors (eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, vultures, osprey). I've been a volunteer at the raptor center for about 7 years so it doesn't seem new to me. We are the largest raptor rehabilitation faculty in the country.  We receive about 700 injured birds of prey a year from as far away as South America and heal the birds and send the back to the wild( where ever they came from).

I also have a second job there; I work for the Avian research center a group of avian related faculty members who have seminars once a month. I do a newsletter for them and other computer related tasks.
