Thanks to my buddy Jerry Barrack, I have some photos to share from last weekend's release of the red-shoulder -- with a little intrigue to boot.
Above is a picture of Laura the red-shoulder with her Samaritan, Stiles Thomas, who took her to the Raptor Trust three weekends ago when she was injured and who released her last weekend at the Celery Farm.
After she was hurt, the male found a younger girlfriend.
At any rate, after Laura was released, she flew to a nearby tree (below) to get her bearings.
Not missing a trick, the younger female flew overhead ...
The last I heard, the male and younger female were still together. Whither Laura?
A red-shoulder was twice seen flying over the CF yesterday, but it remains unidentified...
Thanks for sharing your photos, Jerry!
