Went to get the mail and spotted our resident red tail enjoying the attentions of a pack of crows

About a year ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a behind-the-scenes tour of the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center in Lucas, Texas. The facility is "dedicated to environmental preservation through public education and the conservation of birds of prey and wildlife in their natural habitat." One of the main things that is done there is to rehabilitate injured raptors and then return them to the wild. Unfortunately, not all of these beautiful birds are able to be healed to the point of being released back into their natural environment. Those that can't are retained, cared for, and used for educational purposes. It's some of these whose images are shown here - Mississippi Kite, Screech Owl and Red Tailed Hawk.
