So many lovely owls at this Sanctuary, well worth a visit.

Taken with my XH2S & Tamron 150-500mm

    I did wonder if you remotely close, still you could combine with the Scottish one, and the bird of prey place down the road from screech to see soon many birds, trip of a lifetime!

    I want to go to Scotland for birding so bad, I have to get it sorted. This looks like another cracking place to go! I wish more places did photo shoots

      We have a number of rescues that do photo shoots, but you guys get flight displays, which we don’t. I need to get me a passport!

        Those are something else, best coming when it cooler as they do longer flight paths, they kept them pretty short hops yesterday due to how hot it was

          I’ve been so nervous for our bird friends here. We’ve just gotten a break from the extreme heat, but now we have wildfire smoke making the air itself dangerous from halfway across the continent.

          They’ve been shutting down our outside work for safety, and birds have more sensitive breathing than we do, so it must be tricky fire she the millions of birds and many other animals in that range.

          Minneapolis to Boston is about 1800km, and Google tells me England is 1400km to give you an idea of scale.
