What Ive been up to!

I had a friend visit from Roseville Ca, Caren. Seems Kealani fell in love with her and would follow her around everywhere!!!



We met up with Jill and went out to Skyhunters Ranch rehab facility and had a tour!!!!!!





And of course we saw Barn Owls!!!





























I forgot which kind of owl this is but he was gorgeous



















Silly Caren!




Beautiful Red tailed hawk! Did you know it takes actually a year befor a red tailed hawk gets his red tail feathers??? I didnt know that!






























Owl Rug








A kestrel that was caught as a baby and hand raised and in bad shape when he came to the rehab center. He cant be released into the wild.






Inside Skyhunters Ranch





Beautiful drive up to Alpine on the way to Skyhunters





Oh I finally caught a picture of one of Lucys owlets!!!!






This plant had a plethora of owl pellets which we gathered, They were awesome and you could see what the owls eat!!! The bones and skulls are in the pellets!!! We have gone out to Dennis's he has a box up and the owls names are Lucy and Ricky.




Gathering pellets! Cool!!!




They had a burro named Bandit who was very cute









Hi cutie!!!





Caren feeding Bandit




Im so excited gathering owl pellets!!!! This is a skull!!!





Dennis has a tortoise named Patton! He was huge!!!! He likes corn on the cob!




New barn owl box!







Ricky and Lucys home, owlets have fledged!

It looks like you have been busy and busy having fun!!! Owls are among my favorites!! The one you 'forgot' is a Barred Owl--We had one that was around much of last year but hasn't returned this year.
