It’s always a good week when we can report releases, and we had THREE red tails released last week, one of whom had come in from Peach County just a few days earlier.
I think this is the last time we’re using slow motion for release videos, as in the second vid—not in slo-mo—the camera seems to retain a better focus on the bird as it flies away. I do like the slo-mo glare the third bird gives me before flying away, though!

The remaining two red tails are still in the main flight. The nonreleasable is slated to go to Elachee Aug. 21, and the juvie may have placement as a falconry bird—that is, if he doesn’t self-release first. He’s trying his best!
The MIKIs are on a diet after I weighed them and realized they’re too fat to fly…Understand, we want a little “padding” as they begin migration, but these two quite literally can’t get off the ground.
The turkey vultures will be going to an undisclosed location as soon as the weather cooperates—hopefully this coming weekend. The landowner is willing to monitor them for a soft release, and I know they’ll do great once there.
And now I believe I’ll take a little nap on this rainy Georgia Sunday afternoon…
