"Cornelia"
Great Horned Owl
|
Cornelia, a great horned owl,
arrived at WARM through the Washington
State University where she was born blind in captivity.
On nice days she enjoys being
outside and is exercised using falconry techniques. A leather bracelet
is strapped around her leg and attached to a long line that is used
to guide her. She is taken to an open field nearby and sent out to fly,
gently guided with tugs on the line. After several minutes, she will
gradually be guided back until she is perched comfortably on Randy's
arm.
