| Thanks to The Owl Foundation this beautiful Male Barred Owl was released back where he was found. He came in last March with a eye injury. On August 15, 2014 we set him free again. Donna and I went to Vineland to pick up the owl. I was so thrilled to get to hold the owl when Stacey banded it. I guess you can tell I am happy.

| Stage two was to go where the owl was found. Helena Chu joined me for this. We found a great location on a dead end road with very little traffic and lots of trees and farmers fields.All the next photos are by Helena Chu |
