Thanks to the Gres family for emailing an update on the gal in the previous post. They explained how they had to dig around in poison ivy to get her. It is always great to hear from the first responders, helps create an accurate history. Still trying to get a good picture of her now that she is all growed up, at least in her mind, but she is not a picture poser. The only time she gets still is at night or in the overcast weather conditions and neither afford good photo opportunities. We aren't giving up!
The New Flight Pens
Picture
Rocky made sure all the holes were round. Billy Bob made sure the 2x4s were level. In spite of these two onsite inspectors we got the job done.
Picture
The progress was slow as we dealt with mother nature and scheduling conflicts but we eventually got it done. Thanks to AJ Rogers and Jim Davidson for their expert technical assistance. Thanks to the others that contributed a day or two of labor. The primary design was done by AJ and she did great! She incorporated all the design issues necessary to comply with Fed and State regulations and added some really nice touches to the overall project.
Picture
This was the first section completed. We had to build in sections as the old decrepit owl pen in the background had some big yellow eyes that were fascinated by our presence. Once they were released were demolished the old pen( didn't take much effort) and started on the new.
Picture
The whole front of the finished flight pen. There are five sections, if you count the doors. Slats can be removed from interior walls to double the size of any sections. Please excuse the debris in the picture as we were still in cleanup mode too.
THANKS-
Thank you all for all your prayers and support during the past couple years. As most of know my mother sustained a neck in August of 2011 and was in treatment until Jan. 2013. She is at home and has to have help daily with her activities of daily living.
We have also been able to get the Donation button on the website so we can raise funds more easily. We are trying to get our freezers restocked for the fall migration. And we will have to start replacing our other 4 fight pens. I hate to end our time talking about money but neither the Feds nor the state give us any funding.
These are our raptors they are part of our heritage and they survive by our efforts.
Thanks for your time.......God bless
