This is Mikey, a very juvenile Great Horned Owl. He took a very bad fall from a very high tree. He is recovering from his injuries and is eating his way to health and happiness. Return to the wild is expected.
Remember as cute as they are they are still wild. GHO babies have feet that want to move and they will walk right out of the nest and off the end of the limb. Caution is necessary when approaching a baby as the parents may well be around and they will protect the baby.They don't care how nice of person you are!
Fish Hook the Red Shoulder is back in the wild. He recovered nicely and was released. I don't believe he looked back either.
3 more Red Tails have also returned to the wild. Hopefully in time to mate and raise a new crop of RTs. Rick your Red Tail was one of them.

Genius the Falcon was DNA tested and we can proudly anounce what he already new- he's a boy!! It's official laboratory approved. They pulled down his genes. The lab even sent a nice little certificate, in case he forgets.

Got a bunch of emails to answer here but have to finish my research. Also need you guys to answer the emails I sent you back. I just want to clarify your questions!!! You're not in trouble!! I just want to look smarter than a 1st grader.
Please answer and return ASAP or sooner.
I appreciate all the prayers and support I have been getting as I deal with this family illness (no it's not me so turn of the rumor mill). This has been very tough.
I know the sun will come up again.
Also hope to have a guest blogger soon. He has mentioned it and I said okay. He should be an interesting read.

Thanks for your time.....
