Photography, History and Whatever Else Strikes my Fancy.

Today we I took Ivana, Connor and Kyla to see the bird rehabilitation centre where Opium works and to watch an Eagle being returned to the wild.
|
The owl in the foreground only has one wing. She was hit by a car. The one in the background has a bad wing and brain damage from flying into a high-rise.
 |
This eagle will never be set free. He is suffering from something akin to hemophilia brought on by pesticide poisoning.
|
 |
This is Goldie. She is an 11-year old golden eagle with a bad shoulder. She is unable to long distances because of it and will never recover.
|
 |
Her is Goldie again, showing off her 8' wingspan. She is a very impressive bird!
|
 |
Here is the little blighter that held up the show. They were reluctant to let the eagle go while this little scrapper was loose.
|
 |
Here is the star of the show, looking pretty anxious to be on his way.
