Wow, what nice pictures! I love them!

I actually work at the Avian Reconditioning Center, and I was hoping to correct some minor things. Maybe you spoke to a misinformed volunteer? All the birds in the pictures do live at our center, but our barn owls, Henry and Whisper aren't related. Henry is a European Barn Owl, and Whisper is a Common Barn Owl. Our two peregrine falcons are also unrelated.

We don't have any golden eagles at our center, although it would be amazing to have one, they don't often make it over to Florida. We do have three Bald Eagles, Windy, Stormy, and Ike. Our oldest bald eagle is about 15 years now. I think that's a picture of Ike there!

I'm glad you had a good time at Owl Fest, and I hope I could help clear up some misunderstandings. You took some lovely pictures! Hope to see you there again this year!
