Mae and Sally

            Excerpt from the Houston Chronicle June 30, 2021:  "A new American legend has landed at the Houston Zoo.  Meet Mae, a bald eagle named after Mae Jemison – the first Black woman in space. A Texas game warden found the bird with an extensive wing injury in East Texas during the February freeze.  Experts from wildlife rehabilitation facility Last Chance Forever and the Angelina Animal Hospital worked tirelessly to heal her, but they were unable to fix the wing.  That meant they weren't able to release Mae into the wild. Instead, she was transported to the Houston Zoo, where she will live for the rest of her majestic days paired nicely with another grounded bald eagle named Sally – after Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.  Sally was brought to the zoo under similar circumstances years ago.'
