LWR had no new intakes last week and no releases, although that may change this week. We shall see…
The potentially blind barred owl still ain’t doin’ right (Yes, it’s a “medical” term my vets and I use when we can’t find an actual problem but we know there is one: We say the patient has ADR). He may or may not eat, mostly not, and he alternates between acting stir crazy and just sitting slumped over. In other words, we still have major head trauma here, and there’s not a lot we can do but allow the bird time and see what happens.

The other barred owl is ready for release this week, probably midweek.
And the little feathered pig—sorry, I mean the peregrine—will then move into the main flight where, if he flies as well as he’s currently doing in the mini-pen, he’ll only spend a week or so before his release. He’s been a much calmer guest than the tail-shredding female peregrine of a couple of years ago, and I’ve enjoyed having a more laid-back bird to observe. I think it’s safe to say I’m slightly besotted with this fellow!
