A Joy to Work With

From Middle TN Raptor Center

Here is the GHO that we have been treating for secondary poisoning. He is another joy to work with (said very sarcastically) 🫣 He always has that look of total disapproval... like how dare I bother him while he is in deep thought contemplating about how ducks stay dry...or the aerodynamics of frisbees...or why penguins don't freeze their feet..sheesh how dare I 😂

Looks like he's giving us a thumbs up LMAO

If an owl ever gave a thumbs up, it would likely be in complete sarcasm. 🙂

They do still have a thumb.

They control the bastard wings, a bit of the wing that is about 3 feathers or so, and it helps them maneuver at low speed, when not enough air is moving over the main wings. You can see them protruding out the front of the wings here:

Bastard Wings was my band in high school.

It is a much cooler name than most science stuff gets!

I mean... he's trying to look dignified and affronted but he's got those goofy eyebrow feathers...

That was the only angry Eugene Levy pic I could find. He must be a happy guy.
