Whistle while you work

Well today was a regular slow fall day at the center. Did some cleaning, some seal weighing, and pulled blood on 2 seals for diagnostic testing to make sure they are a-okay for release. Throughout the day we discussed animals that can be released (merlin & sharp-shinned hawk) and who should be upgraded. The biggest question of the day, where do we move the Pygmy owl to next?? As he is such a small owl, but we need to make sure that he can fly well before kicking him out of the center.

Other things that continued was the eagle flight cage build. Today we had 3 large concrete hauling truck sneak between our building and the wet pen fence, and I might add they just barely squeak through! And a gigantic concrete pumper truck. In other words, the foundation is poured and the poles are set in place. Of course, all those pics are on the work camera, b/c we are documenting the build on a day to day basis.

So other than that. I will give you some photos to fill your head with smiles.
