Guest Gallery: Todd Secki

Todd Secki is a Wildlife Photographer and Co-Founder of APCH. His carpentry and building skills have helped realize this dream by providing top quality housing for the birds in our care. A stone mason/builder by trade, he lives at the center with President and Co-Founder Christine Cummings. Together, they operate and maintain APCH. Todd became a climber in order to help us achieve our goals of putting baby birds back into the natural care of their parents. Since 2005, APCH has had great success in returning nest fall victims to the care of their natural parents. Since birds are best raised by birds, their team strives to put them all back rather than raise babies in captivity. Survival rates are already so low, but to be raised by humans or captive foster parents has been proven ineffective in long term survivability. Climbing became a necessary skill not only for nest falls but for many rescues as well. Some of these climbs have reached heights of 85 feet. His dedication and commitment to our cause guarantees APCH a brave future. Todd Secki’s wildlife photography can be found on Facebook under Spirit Hawk Photography.
