what was the name and location of that raptor reserve you used to live near? I didn't "live near," it is in my former back yard in Lake Forest, Ca. run by my ex-wife. It is called "Orange County Bird of Prey," and she has about 50 to 100 bird of prey there at any time, with the most in the spring, when the chicks fall out of the nests. (I always considered baby barn owls to be "rats with wings".) We couldn't keep Eagles for long, too small a facility. Mainly Red Tailed Hawks, Great Horned and Barn Owls, and a whole variety of small Raptors. It is a "Rehab" operation, a Hospital. The injured birds are brought in by Orange County Animal Control, with a few "Imprints" there permanently that are used for teaching in the schools. The birds are kept until healthy, and then released. BTW, UC Davis, an "Aggie" school, which is mentioned in the article you referred to, is where Kenneth Galbraith got his PHD in Economics. The main reason he became famous is that you Ivy League types looked down your noses at him and considered his degree to be on the level of "Home Economics." They would not review his serious books after WWII. So he switched, wrote popular economics, and became well known.
