A few images from a recent photo workshop I attended at an avian rescue center. These birds can never be released into the wild, some because their injuries were so severe they cannot fend for themselves, and others because they were human imprinted. Unfortunately, some misguided individuals attempt to raise raptor hatchlings from time to time. The birds become used to being with people, and never learn how to be wild animals. The situation is irreversible, and they will attempt to maintain close contact with people if released back into the wild. The tiny Kestrel came to the rescue center after he started trying to land on people’s shoulders at our State Capitol. The Great Horned Owl was confiscated from a guy with a history of illegal possession of wild animals. Imagine if she got into the wild and tried landing on people with her 300 pounds per square inch grip. G80 + Olympus 75-300 II. Next time I go I’m going to rent a better lens.
