It's been declining in numbers in recent years, no one knows why for sure. This one has been injured and can't be reintroduced to the wild, so it's used for educational programs.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/1024/IMG_9083.jpg"><img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/480/IMG_9083.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />This red-tailed hawk lost an eye (as is demonstrated here) so it can't hunt - they depend on binocular vision to capture their prey.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/1024/IMG_9100.jpg"><img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/480/IMG_9100.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I was in charge of the arts and crafts booth - we made little rock gardens out of tuna cans.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/1024/IMG_9108.jpg"><img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/480/IMG_9108.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />He was a visitor to my booth, but didn't participate.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/1024/IMG_9109.jpg"><img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/480/IMG_9109.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I just like taking pictures of her (one of my daughter's friends - they've known each other since they were newborns together!) because she's so beautiful.

I don't exactly know why she was here, but if you can read the sign behind her (it says, "Can you guess what I eat?") you can see that she's helping teach kids about how different bill shapes tell you what a bird eats.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/1024/IMG_9139.jpg"><img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/278/7802/480/IMG_9139.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Joseph used to work for Audubon.
