Rehab flights from December 31st, 2009. The Raptor Center currently has 3 Snowy’s and they should be ready for rehab flying next month.
Terry and I took a Bald Eagle to Hastings, MN for a release. This bird was one of the largest juveniles we have ever had, weighing in at over 6,000 grams (or over 13 pounds). The releaser was Dave Gysbers, a 7 year volunteer at the Raptor Center. It was fun to watch the last release of 2011.
Yesterday, Terry and I drove to Hastings to release another BAEG (Bald Eagle) from the Raptor Center. We drove to Carpenter Nature Center which sits on a high bluff overlooking the St. Croix River. The only person we found on the grounds was Alan, an employee of Carpenter, so we decided to let him toss the bird. Sunny and cold – beautiful day for a release.
