Bird Portraits at the Avian Reconditioning Center

Went to the Avian Reconditioning Center in Apopka to see the birds of prey. They brought each one out to a perch so I could take photographs without the busy background. Some of the birds will eventually be released back to the wild, but many have permanent injuries and are permanent residents who are used for education. Since I have never seen owls in the wild, this was my chance to see them up close and take pictures. I am going back for their Owl Festival in November, if not sooner.
