couldn't have said it better myself! It is probably Illegal, but i would definitely say that the priority here to keep the animal alive ans safe until it is strong and healthy enough to be returned home.

You have to have permits and license etc... to keep raptors...God help you if you get caught with a caged WILD raptor.....ESPECIALLY if you don't know enough to tell if it's on the "Protected" list. Bad news....Let him go as soon as possible.

Don't worry Seismic, he's not here in a cage or something. First I am a rehabilitator for some animals, but owls are not my specialty so he was picked up by a raptor caretaker for the Chihuahuan Desert Wildlife Rescue until he can be released back where he belongs.

What a gorgeous bird! I love owls, especially their eyes.

LOL! I love the wide-eyed look he has in the last picture.

Maybe you can incorporate this into a lesson today? Maybe about wisdom or caring for one another?

I like the pics...He IS giving the camera "The Stink Eye".

He's got tow questions going through his head
"Can I eat it?"
"Can it eat me?"
