BIRD WALK/SHOW

Hello, Everyone!

Hope all are well! We're fine here!
We had occasion to attend the VA Audubon Society Annual Bird Walk
this past Saturday. We went especially for the session on raptors, like hawks and falcons. It was quite interesting, and the birds were beautiful! I have enclosed a couple of shots of each bird they presented.

The first one was a 20-year -old broadtail hawk named Kettler.

She was found with a badly shattered wing - they fixed her wing, but she was unable to fly. So she's been a show bird ever since!

The next was a 2-year-old kestrel named
Edie,

just recently turned into the sanctuary as another injured bird.

Then there was Gustavo, a 9-year-old barred owl, who stole the show.

Really a magnificent bird! Quinn Robinson, the bird handler, said he has a real easy-going personality, and is the best to work with of all the birds they have at the shelter.

All in all, a great way to spend a Saturday!
Enjoy! ~ DaveKay
