An injured Bald Eagle receives treatment at Wolf Hollow
When a wild animal is in need, there is one place they can turn: Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
One of its primary sources of funding is the annual Bite of Orcas, a culinary event held in the Village Green. Money raised from the eating extravaganza helps Wolf Hollow continue to come to the rescue of birds, mammals and reptiles.
Now in its 18th year, the Bite offers a delicious menu of foods like seafood chowder, cupcakes, ice cream, sushi rolls, steak fajitas, steamed clams, chicken chipotle salad and Chicago-style hot dogs.
The wide sampling of flavorful and eclectic cuisine comes at a price that is hard to beat. Tickets are sold in $1 units and can be used at any of the participating restaurants underneath the big white tent on the Village Green.
A variety of local food purveyors are contributing delicacies (and donating 33 percent of their profits) to the Bite of Orcas.
Proceeds from the event go to Wolf Hollow, a nonprofit organization that not only rehabilitates injured and orphaned wildlife, but also provides public education and conducts non-invasive research. It is located on San Juan Island, but has served all of San Juan and Skagit County for the past 30 years. The 40-acre property hosts 40 animal enclosures, including an eagle flight enclosure, seal pools, a deer enclosure and a songbird aviary.
