emma & owliver

Five year-old Emma is a red-tailed hawk. She lives at the Raptor Rehabilitation Project, University of Missouri. She was found in a dumpster in the Columbia area, with a broken wing that had already healed into position, when she was very young. My roommate, Shannon Dennis, volunteers for the Project. She is one of the handlers who feeds the birds and takes them on educational presentations.

Owliver is a seven year-old great horned owl. She came to the project when some people called. She had been down on the ground on their farm for two weeks and had been eating nothing but insects. She has suffered a broken wing and was not able to recover full flight.
