Oh my gosh - what a charmer! All the best, Milo, for a happy and healthy future.

(will he be taught to hunt and eventually go free?)

Those eyes. Cute. You can't stop looking. Great shot. What did you shoot with? Lens .. Very nice.

What a sweet little face! #1 is such a heart-grabber! Well done and I appreciate Milo's rescue & the rescuer.

No Linda, he's totally imprinted now and will become a working "bird abatement specialist"......a trained raptor sits in an area where other birds (seagulls, starlings....) can see them, and they don't come around....and don't have to be trapped or killed....so I think it's pretty cool.....

As we all do...now he has a chance to be a bad dude in the bird world.....
