He is a little ruffled. They had him sitting next to a golden eagle, and they *as a species* don't get along, so they were trying to keep ahold of both birds. They would go flying off and then the teather would tighten, and the birds would swing down.

Your bird pictures came out nice. I'm surprised at the clerity. I never have any luck getting good clear close ups like this... then again I do use an instant camera.

You know that horned owls are some of my favorite wild birds.

Any way... How was your the event at the zoo? Did you get to see the Boreal exibit done by the BirdTLC? Did you play the game (if they even used it)? Did they use the posters?

You know what sucks? I should have gone with you. I ended up not going to the paint ball thing saterday cause mom had to go to the emergancy room (don't worry, she's okay now). This resulted in me actualy being in town Sunday rather than Wassila as was originaly planned. And I was bored out of my mind.

Sorry. Been a little stir crazy since.

Thank you, I have more pictures that I took, but they are a pain because I am trying to work with shrinking them so they fit well on the site. I am not winning, the pictures aren't shrinking right. I don't want to spend too much time on it, as I still have Patagonia to get started on.

I saw the exhibits but didn't spend any time really at them. The people there were getting on my nerves and one lady really ticked me off! My MOTHER asked the lady a question about a strange bird that she saw in the backyard and was starting to discribe it when the lady cut her off and said unless she had a picture of the bird there was just no way she was going to help. Just downright rude. I told mom to just look at the owls and I would help her by finding nicer people to talk with.

When I passed by the TLC exhibit with you posters, they looked so nice, and they were telling people about the "young kind artist who donated her work". They didn't say anything about a game, but I wasn't paying too much attention. I was trying to work on the big exhibit which was suppose to be a bird release. When I found out the big release was a robin......I figured I had enough and left. Mom and I were going to work on robins from the backyard......that and her strange duck.

I look forward to seeing them. If your haveing shrinking problems, your probaly not keeping the pixels per inch large enough as you shrink it size wise. Send them my way and I can see what I can do.

Was the lady part of Bird TLC or one of the other groups? Some of the other groups are kinda rude. And you can always descibe it to me. I love hunting through my bird books to see if I can identify something.

I didn't think they'd use the game. The pictures they gave me to work with were craptacular and though I did my best, the game itseld didn't look much better in the end. Glad they're getting some use out of the posters though. Did they have the jumbo donation poster there too? If not, you can see it at the main clinic... Last I heard they got one of the five eagles filled up.

And of course the animal being released was a robin. That was the logo for the event this year. Last year was a goose and the year before that an owl. Not sure what next years will be. There is a Raven thier working on eventualy releasing.
