Volta hasn’t been cooperating lately with much of the Raptor Centers staff. Lacie, Sitka’s handler is a tad intimidated by him as he isn’t the friendliest bird towards her. Diana, Volta’s past trainer came up from Oregon to give Lacie a hand and a few days off. Lacie has been working non-stop as the center currently has only one handler, so she needed a much deserved break. Everyone at the center was a bit curious to see if Volta would recognize his old trainer and willingly work with her. We were all surprised and excited when Volta appeared on stage. He indeed remembered Diana and was very comfortable in his old familiar surroundings.
