Feather finery

Feather finery
Five of us had such a great day on 21 July 2013, when we went on a birding trip to Bow Valley Provincial Park, W of Calgary. It turned out that people from the Coaldale Bird of Prey Centre had brought several of their bird Ambassadors for an exhibit that day, so we were treated to seeing these birds much closer than we would see most of them in the wild. Never fails to amaze me what wonderful, fine feathers birds have when you see them up close.

I used to have birds of prey in England.. Owls are my weak spot.

Those beautiful eye feathers are sharp and rigid... they act as sensors for closeness when the bird reaches forward.

BEAUTIFUL photo... beautiful.........
