Associated Press: Owl found stuck in a concrete mixer is on the mend and flying free. “It took days for employees at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab to pick the concrete from the bird’s face, chest and right wing, using forceps to carefully crack the dried debris and cleaning the feathers with toothbrushes and dish soap.”

Pernis apivorus (fam. Accipitridae)

[ES] ¡Mi primer abejero europeo! No solo fotografiado, sino tamibén visto. Otras veces que me ha parecido verlo nunca he estado seguro. Pasó dos veces sobrevolando el bosque en vuelo bajo; yo estaba fotografiando bichos con la reflex y con el objetivo macro, pero aun así a la segunda conseguí una foto aceptable.

[EN] My first European honey buzzard! It is not only the first photo I get of this species, but also the first time I see it and I'm sure of its identification. It passed two times flying low over the forest and at the second chance I could get a decent photo, despite I was using a macro lens.

The Rüppels vulture is the bird that can fly the highest in the world. It can fly up to 11 kilometers high. Unfortunately, this vulture will nog get the chance. I photographed him in the zoo. #birds #birdsofprey #birdsphotography #birdsofpixelfed
