Thanks Karen!
What a great gift! I look forward to seeing more photos!
It really was. I received an "raptor adoption" for christmas this year. As a thank you for sponsorship, I visited with this Barn Owl, a Shriek Owl, a Juvenile Bald Eagle, a couple of Kestrels, and a Great Horned Owl. It was an awesome day. More photos coming soon!
That must have been an amazing experience!
Thanks KarenL! I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon Jazz. She's a beautiful bird.
Lovely series Courtney!
