Re: Xeximene

David:
Nicely-lit image of an intriguing bird.
I'm reminded of One-Eyed Jack, a Golden Eagle at the Peregrine Fund's Center For Birds of Prey in Boise, ID. Modern human technology and birds frequently don't mix. Thankfully, people bring some of the injured ones in, and when they're healthy, they become education birds. It's great that the public sees these magnificent guys close up - and maybe starts to care about them.

At the Kamloops Wildlife Park, the other day, along with Qaanik, was Xeximene (pronounced haw-keh-mah-na) and is, I am told, Chinese for "Owl".
Xeximene picked a fight with a car ... and lost. Thus, he has only one eye and would be unable to survive in the wild. So, he is now a Zoo owl and doing just fine, thank you.
Still, his one eye-edness, gives him a wee bit of an unusual look, but he's absolutely fascinating, in his own way.
He can be seen by going to: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/ and then clicking on "featured photo", on the left side of your screen. 

Comments, good or bad, always appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers!
