Wild Bird Wednesday


Flight Training at the Nature Center
 Technically this bird is not in the wild though he will always be a wild bird.  He is a rehab bird being kept by our Raptor Organization because he cannot be returned to the wild ... but when I saw these pictures I thought it was an opportunity to see a magnificent Red Tail in flight.  Enjoy ...










 




He is being flown on a creance line so he can't fly off, but eventually we will be able to remove the line and even send him into the trees and he will return to the glove.   It is truly an awesome experience ...

Awesome photos, Andrea. What a beautiful bird! It must be so exciting to work with them. Have the cooler temps reached your area yet? If so, Izzi must be thrilled.

Pogo sends woofs to Izzi. You have a super day, hugs, Edna B.
