Joy: Love, Love, Love that photo of the young Owlet! So sad to hear that you see so many dead alongside the roads so often. I live in the city but we have owls, bald eagles, ospreys and a variety of herons and even wood storks. I took this photo Wednesday afternoon; a Wood Stork that flew by and landed in a neighbors yard. They aren't the prettiest bird on the block, LOL but very interesting looking in their own way:


It's so sad to hear of birds dying for whatever reason but really makes me very when I hear of one being shot! My heart broke this morning when our newspaper reported a story about a Bald Eagle that had been shot. It was found on 9/11 and taken to a Vet where X-rays revealed it had been hit by at least 15 Shotgun Pellets!!! It was given antibiotics and fluids being fed poultry, mice and fish; was doing well and seemed to be improving somewhat but it ended up dying. I hope with all my being that the culprit (s) are apprehended and made to pay for this heinous act!! http://www.news-journalonline....
