The Red Tail Hawk referred to as Grunt was released this morning and disappeared into the trees before the camera could click. His flight was perfectly level and he moved like a rocket. I didn't explain the "grunt" name and have been questioned about it. A grunt is a slang term for an infantryman and since he was hiking down the road like an infantryman he got named Grunt. So for all you Marines with an 03 mos and Army with 11bravo mos this birds for you!

Here are a couple very shots of the Ban owl siblings. These 2 are on a perch and the 3rd one is on the ground trying to eat AJ's shoes (a most aggressive little guy). Notice the down still protruding from under the feathers. They are not used to being in the light, they are in a covered flight pen that reduces light. Barn Owls prefer the dark.

The next picture is of the aggressive little "shoe eater". In 20 plus years of working with Barn owls I have never seen tis level of aggression in an owl this age. He managed to self release the next night and is now the 1/2 of the 3 1/2 Barnies in rehab. This above shot shows details of their coloration.

The next picture is a very good detailed picture of the 3 GHO babies. Notice at the furry feet.

Hope you enjoy these great photos. Compliments of Tom and Aj.
