Here are some more photos I took at Wingspan National Bird of Prey Center.
The falcons do not become attached emotionally.
They know that this place is a source of food,
so they are eventually wired with GPS
and can fly wherever they please.
Apparently, Hubby was very pleasing!
You can see this one's wire as he (?) perches on a pole...
...way over there!
The falcons we saw are used for breeding because they were too injured
to be released back into the wild.
Their offspring are released and are kept observed as the falcons are more
endangered than the kiwi birds.
Barn owls made their way here from Australia and have made themselves at home!

ReplyDeleteThe Falcons are such beautiful birds, and it is great they can fly free with their GPS. Suspect the GPS is really for their own safety. I've always liked owls, and this Barn Owl is handsome. Wow, I am impressed by your very long lens.
