Bird Love

That's the name of the book I couldn't resist.  It's a book of fine art bird portraits by Leila Jeffreys and is just purely beautiful to look at.  If you should ever run into it, spend a few moments looking through the portraits.  They're breathtaking.  The bird on the cover is named Pepper.  She lives at Broadwings, a raptor training and rehabilitation center in Queensland.  She's a southern boobook which is Australia's smallest and most common owl.  Her owner, Paul, has tried to release Pepper three times, but she keeps coming back.  They hope that eventually she'll be brave enough to leave home.  If she were mine I'm not so sure I could ever part with her as long as she was happy in captivity.
