Birds, Birds, and more Birds. (Also known as: owls are awesome)

Skipping around a bit - back in time to October and the University of Minnesota's Raptor Care and Management Class I was delighted to attend.

Me with one of the clinic's resident peregrine falcons.


A rehabilitated barred owl about to go back into the wild, ironically in the town where I live.
