Barred Owl Release - thanks The Owl Foundation may 2013
I was so happy to be able to pick up four owls from The Owl Foundation to be released. Chris M volunteer did two rleases and I was able to to do two as well.
This second barred owl gave us a real thrill. Photo of release taken by Janice Hill and her daughter Kristin Cornell. Perfect time of day 8:15pm, empty location (no people), a great tree lot.
Free to fly again. What a great day. Thanks to everyone who participated.
The Owl Foundation you rock.
In order for any owl to be released back in the wild the Owl Foundation Annick and Stacy do a wellness check, wings, tail feathers, fat count, talen and beak (sharpened if needed), weight. Then away they go back to the same location as found.
