[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is another raptor from the raptor show. She has a punctured right eye and cannot guage depth anymore. She takes several attempts to find a new perch as she does not know how deep it is.
She is really bonded with the lady who adopted her and preens her eyebrows very affectionately.
We dont know how her eye got punctured. She cannot be released back into the wild as she can no longer hunt.
Is'nt she a beauty?
