From the Owl Research Institute

Our biologists and volunteers need Apple iPhone devices to run specific field software that works with GPS. If you have an old iPhone 7 or newer just sitting around, we'd appreciate you making a tax deductible donation. Please make sure to erase/reset the phone (so we don't get any of your personal data) and mail to Owl Research Institute: PO Box 39, Charlo, MT 59824 THANK YOU!

With all the FOSS and privacy people here I can't tell if you're actually annoyed or not...

If so, you know better than to blindly click on links! ๐Ÿ˜‰

If not, I do try to make it so you don't actually need to click any of my links, especially the Facebook ones because I know lots of people don't want to go there. I was ready to close my account before I started doing these posts. It's the only real way to get the info from all these rescues though, so now I use it more than ever.

I mainly add the links just to give credit for the photos or for people if they want to volunteer or donate.

I couldn't find anything other than what I shared, so I sent them an email to see if they can share any info. If I hear back, I'll certainly share it!

I did get an update on what they are using the phones for. I'll make a new post on it. It's fairly interesting.
