I am now handling the permanently disabled birds at the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program. I am in training for the educational aspect of the raptor program. For the past few months I have had the pleasure of handling a Kestral, a Great-horned Owl, a Saw-whet Owl and a Swainson's Hawk. It has been really excited to get close to these amazing animals.
In October, I volunteered to handle birds for a photo shoot. The great thing about helping with a photo shoot is along with handling birds, I also had the opportunity to take a lot of pictures. I also handled birds for a program at Front Range Community College on conservation. I am having a wonderful time learning about birds of prey and environmental education. It is truly a unique experience.
