About suziegilbert

I live in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley and have been rehabbing birds for over twenty years. I’ve written a memoir about the slippery slope all rehabbers eventually slide down, “Flyaway: How a Wild Bird Rehabber Sought Adventure and Found Her Wings,” published in 2009 by HarperCollins; a children's book, "Hawk Hill," published in 1996 by Chronicle Books; and a road trip thriller, "Unflappable," published in 2020 by Perch Press. I also write all kinds of freelance content. Please see my website, www.suziegilbert.com
