\"The<\/a>The American Barn Owl After Being Released \u00a9Marilyn Kircus<\/a><\/span>, used with permission<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to let all of my viewers know that yesterday the American Barn Owl I helped rescue on September 9th<\/span><\/a> in the Centennial Valley was released at the Lower Lake of Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Marilyn Kirkus<\/span><\/a>, a volunteer at the refuge and a friend, allowed me to use her photo showing the American Barn Owl as it flew away.<\/p>\n

I absolutely love that this image shows him flying wild and free the way he should be. Thank you Marilyn.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I am grateful for the help that Bill West, the Manager of Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a> provided by taking the owl and getting it to Dillon and for the care and rehabilitation that the Montana Raptor Conservation Center<\/span><\/a> of Bozeman provided for the rescued American Barn Owl while he was in their care.<\/p>\n

I feel blessed to have been a part of the rescue and release of this beautiful American Barn Owl.<\/p>\n

Fly Free…<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good<\/p>\n
