Monday morning’s x-rays at Smalley’s Animal Hospital showed what vet Peggy Hobby and I agreed was a fixable fracture, and Bob Sargent, head of Georgia DNR’s eagle program, had already arranged for UGA in Athens to take the eagle if it was treatable, so we set about finding transportation. One of the LWR stalwarts, AJ Rogers, stepped up to transport the bird to Athens and had him there before 4pm Monday.
The week slowed down after that, with no new intakes and only the red shoulder and barred owls currently in care.
The red shoulder is a goofball who’s still working on the self-feeding thing. But he does like to ham it up for the camera...

And the barred trio are still in the mini-pen; there’s a minor addition I want to place in the main flight before moving them into it, and my editing schedule (you know—my paying job) was too hectic last week to get it done.
The goal is to get the barreds into the main flight this week and the red shoulder into the mini-pen...if the stubborn rascal will consistently self-feed...
