Barn owl release...

Hey remember when these guys were just babies in the nest with Mom?



Well, they are all grown up and ready to leave the nest (and the people) for a life in the wild. We took three of them to a barn in southern Missouri and as you can see, released them from captivity. We will go back in a week and open the loft so that they can learn to hunt while still being fed by the Priday family, and from there they will venture out into the world. Barn owls are rare in the midwest and our hopes are high that these birds will thrive.
