Well  I  hope everybody had a  good new year.  This  is my first post to the  Lodge for 2010.  I have to say if i got these photo’s the first of the year who knows  what the rest will be like. lol.  I took these photo’s in Llano. I was invited by some other photographer buddies.  The lady who manages these  bird’s is from out of  state and  goes to state parks to  give talks about them.

The owl is  27 years old and  the cara-cara is  34  years old. They are well taken care  of.  When I first saw the  lady pull up, the  owl was  sitting on the  seat  not  in a cage  and loose in the  van. I was shocked.

SOAR Inc.  (Save Our American Raptors) is an organization dedicated to educating the public to the issues surrounding North America’s Birds of Prey.  S.O.A.R operates on the private donations which help defray the cost of providing educational programs as well as the upkeep of Doris’ birds.

Well I  hope  ya’ll enjoy and  have  a safe  new year. May it  be  better than last year.
