Cordell and I went to the Cascade Raptor Center today
http://www.eraptors.org/ where they rescue, rehabilitate and release birds. So I, being obsessed with owls, have been wanting to go for quite some time. I had the hopes of being able to hold or touch one, but that didn't happen. I did, however, see a wild one just hanging out and mocking them. They have owls, hawks, eagles, vultures and white-tailed kites (which are really very loud). Caution: This is image heavy, and they are rather big because I didn't feel like going through them and making them smaller.
