Finally got to make a return visit to the first owl rehab I visited. The Raptor Trust is a nice medical and rehab facility in northern NJ.
It’s a great facility to look around, but picture taking is absolutely terrible. They have very fine netting on all the enclosures. Most of my pics look like this, no matter how hard I tried.
I’ll share a few I got where you can actually see the birds. The post picture is of the most beautiful Barred Owl they had, Sonny.
I really wanted to get a pic of this kestrel, but this was the best of over a dozen tries. Again, literally inches away, but the netting is too tight for me to focus through.
There was a Merlin next to this little fellow as well.
