5/19/09

Yesterday, an unexpected guest returned to Shawnee for a winter holiday. In May of this year, Shawnee released an Osprey that was previously injured.

The bird spent a year being rehabilitated leading up to this magnificent moment.

It only took a few months for our fair feathered friend to visit the beautiful Shawnee Inn again.
