Day 148 of 365, took a run down to the Bird of Prey Center in Coaldale, Alberta today with Flickr friend Anne Elliott. Been planning to go there for a while now as it closes for the winter and just opened a week ago. They have a fairly large collection raptors at this facility, mostly birds that were born in captivity or injured and couldn't be released back into the wild so there are plenty of opportunities for close-ups like this.
Thanks for coming down with me Anne, it was a lot of fun and it was nice having company on the drive.
