Default Jail birds

Guys, these are from a trip to a local raptor sanctuary earlier this spring.. excuse the fences in the shots .. sad state for these beautiful birds, but without it they were toast in the wild .. all injured with or without hope to return to the wild .. great staff looking out for these guys ..

I hope the snow is done for the year snowy owl i'm sure

Beautiful Owls, the chain link is a little distracting, but we work with what we have.
I love the Owls eye in the 2nd one!
I even like the vulture.
Thanks for Sharing these

I know, the fence is what they have to live with to recover or survive
