I've never seen a kid her age that can identify birds the way she can. Amazing. <BR/><BR/>On the other note, I would love to work with birds of prey. They don't frighten me at all. Especially the owls, I LOVE owls. It's amazing how close I came to the GH owls that lived by us on on the hill, within a couple of feet. And they had owls at the BLM that were being rehabilitated and my favorite treat was when Bob would take me in to see them. The little sawwhet owl was my favorite. (Attitude of a large raptor, but smaller than Gracie.) I guess I'm just to awestruck (stupid) to be scared of them. Bites from big beaks hurt, but are rarely fatal. I'd gladly risk loosing a finger for the opportunity to work with them.Linda https://www.blogger.com/profile/02621759758383590695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494663141817723073.post-12944590449890510062007-10-15T15:18:00.000-07:002007-10-15T15:18:00.000-07:00Jodi, I know what you mean.
