Update on the Eurasian Eagle Owl:

[Call Me Wesley]

I posted these pictures some way back:

He (yes, it's a male) is equipped with a radio sender and was released into freedom again just a few minutes ago. He made the sky his limit. :)

2. Sandhill cranes are beautiful birds.

It's quite rare I see a crane here.

3. Thanks for the update!

Last night I dreamed the swifts were back, but alas, it was only a dream.

4. Haven't seen them here yet.

But usually we have quite a few of them, and a sick one last year. He was okay and let free. Beautiful birds - but helpless on an even ground.

5. A fitting end to his recovery.

May he fly free for many years to come. Will his radio eventually fall off or is it an implant?

6. No implant.

Just attached to the ring on his leg. I'll have to ask for the website to track him.

Yes, might he fly for many years to come. Thank you! :hug:
