Eric Brown and his wife, Linda, also a wildlife rehabilitator, have housed everything from owls and hawks to raccoons and foxes on the Duanesburg farm he inherited from his grandfather. Brown tells in this week’s podcast how he grew particularly fond of four coyotes that were taken from their mother’s uterus after she was shot; he calls them princesses. Nine months ago, three bobcat kittens were brought to him from Altamont Orchards after their mother disappeared. The feisty bobcats are now ready to be released back into the wild.
