    Had to show this off!

    I was not to sure where to put these pictures up,so i figured here would be a good place.
    I think i was talking with Rusty about this.
    My wife and i went to our friend house who owns and rehabilitates wild raptor birds.
    She is a very cool lady and knows her stuff.
    Well here are some pics of when we went.
    First pic is of her big girl.
    An American Eagle...
    Just Beautiful and such a gracefull animal.
    And the second is of a Screech Owl..
    And the third is a species of Falcon but i forget the name of it.
    Very cool experience indeed.

    Done... there is a redirect that will expire in 24 hours so that people can find it for the first day.

    Great pics btw.

    Your friend does great work! I do raptor rescue and rehab in conjunction with a local rehab myself. Beautiful and fascinating birds.

    LOL...
    Yea most Owls heads do look like they are way big for the body.
    Owl are very cool in the aspect that they can allmost do a 180 with there heads also and have great vision.
    Thank you by the way for moving this post!
    The person i happen to know is a real good friend of ours.
    She has wokred with the Raptor species of birds for years!
    I am personnaly a reptile guy,but am just starting to get into the Raptor species of birds myself.
    Very interesting creatures indeed.
    And if you look at it this way,most birds are distant relatives of the dinosaur in one way or another!
    So it is not just reptiles that are cousin of the dinosaur.
    Pretty cool stuff!

    Re: Had to show this off!

    I volunteered at an animal rehab center back in high school and they had a red-tailed hawk for a while. It was a very impressive animal.

    They also had the meanest little screech owl. I always got stuck caring for her because everyone else was afraid. If you didn't wear thick leather gloves she could cause some serious damage.
