Great Horned Owl Release - a very old girl

The Owl Foundation had a very old Great Horned Owl to release the same
day as Donna and I were doing Barred Owl releases. 
We were able to see this old girl before we left.


she was in on a talon injury

But healthy again to be released

Molt and Feathers


We sure loved looking at her

The Owl Foundation has the owls in huge flight cages to make sure
they are healthy enough to go back in the wild.
But they must catch them before they can go free.

Annick is very good at this.
 


The Owl Foundation was so pleased to be able to release this owl.
You don't see many old ones.

Thank you to The owl Foundation for all your work.
