Yesterday (Feb. 5) was a perfect day to release Betsey's saw whet owl back to home in Rockrimmon. We've been waiting for quite some timefor Ziggy to heal from his big accident with the window, then waiting for good weather. It was late afternoon and while driving through the neighborhood we spotted several deer foraging in residents' yards and one stately buck relaxing on somebody's lawn. Unfortunately Anita and Amanda couldn't make it to the release due to being out of town, but Jeromy from the DOW was able to attend as well as a couple of Betsey's friends. The release was good. The owl was gone so fast we didn't even get a picture of him (you can see his earlier rehab picture by searching the blog). However, we did have a tour of Coulton's immaculately maintained reptile collection and his healthy lizards. We watched while they changed colors a few times, which was cool. I admit I forgot what a couple of these guys are called but here they are and if you can refresh my memory please e-mail me through our Web site!
