Three of my grandkids, an eagle and me!

At the last minute (almost), Bird TLC said to release BE 14-60, aka Big Girl, right away. So, I got Lisa Pajot to help me catch her and then Lisa banded her. I left with Big Girl and went and picked up three of my grandkids. We're headed to Portage for a release.
 Destinee gets to open the kennel door while Austin and Tripp help hold the kennel.
 Big Girl came out like a bullet and was on a mission.
As we say, nothing but tail feathers. It was great to share the afternoon with my grandkids and also to share this awesome moment with them. I doubt Big Girl will remember us, she didn't even look back. But I know we'll remember her and her release.
