How many people

 

 

How many people get to hold an American Kestrel

 

 

 

…..and a Great Horned Owl

 

 

 

…on the same day.

 

One of Andy’s responsibilities is to supervise animal mitigation efforts.  Lucky for me, the wildlife biologist in their employ caught an owl and a kestrel this morning.  I got to go talk with him while he banded them.  He records all the specifics then carries them an appropriate distance away for release.  If they get them the right distance away, most of them don’t come back.  If they do come back and they get trapped again, the birds will be in the database.

 

Andy, you rock!
