Amy released a pair of owls at the Nursery Tank on Saturday night. These were young owls who had been either injured or abandoned. Amy hopes that these owls will stay in the park, hopefully near the Nursery Tank.
This is Nick, the male owl.
Holly, the female owl is bigger, though I didn’t get a shot of her spreading her wings.
Holly was reluctant to leave. Amy had to try a few times to get her to go.
This shot was taken a moment or two before she flew away.
Mary says:
WOW! These are very cool shots! Excellent pictures, Kevin . . . and good work to his assistant, Marie.
