Finally got to make a return visit to the first owl rehab I visited. The Raptor Trust is a nice medical and rehab facility in northern NJ.
It’s a great facility to look around, but picture taking is absolutely terrible. They have very fine netting on all the enclosures. Most of my pics look like this, no matter how hard I tried.
I’ll share a few I got where you can actually see the birds. The post picture is of the most beautiful Barred Owl they had, Sonny.
Pair of Bald Eagles. These guys always smell so bad, no matter where I see them!
They also had a Golden Eagle, but no way to get a pic. It was hopping around the trees in its enclosure. It was about the only active animal I saw, as it was over 90 degrees out. That 33C, which does not sound near large enough a number to represent how hot it was!
