Owl X-ray Time

From Blackland Prairie Raptor Center

Even the small raptors, like this Eastern Screech owl gets x-rayed. A hood or towel is placed over the head to keep it calm. Wings and legs are spread out and taped down on our x-ray table. The x-ray is quickly taken and within a minute we can view the x-rays online.

Do you expect me to talk?

No, Mr. Owl, I expect you to die.

Thought it was a modern art exhibit.

Much better than that banana taped to the wall.

Hopefully this owl doesn't end up like that banana... 😮

This looks like the owl asked for grapes at the lemonade stall one too many times...

No Mr Owl, I expect you to thrive!

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster

"Damn you Dr Frog! What is this vile green trap holding me down?!"

"Ahaha I shall finally have my revenge for my hunted family! You see Mr Owl, you are no match for my all powerful frog tape!"

I love that frog tape. I have to help my friend hang a tv this weekend and was all excited to use my frog tape to mark the wall.
