Remember the California Condor that was convalescing at The Raptor Center? Well, after spending a few weeks in an outdoor flight pen, rebuilding its strength, it has been released out into the wild. Let's hop it has better luck this time.

In other news, there's a preview out for the-novel-turned-into-a-movie, Hoot. It looks like it's about some young kids light heartedly sabotaging a construction site to protect some burrowing owls. I'm not sure how accurate the movie is going to be since the preview shows a burrowing owl in a tree. Also, the hooting of a the burrowing owl in the preview sounds a lot like a great horned owl. Harrumph, now I'm disapproving.
