A sad day

Over the weekend I found out that this was one of the last pics I took of gorgeous little Skye.
She has featured in so many of my projects over the years. One could pick her up and cuddle her, she loved that.

This adorable little Scops Owl ( not much bigger than my hand) died of old age and had a wonderful life at Eagle Encounters.

They say owls are reincarnated souls that reach the opalescent gates and request to return as an owl.
🤭 I just made that up ❤️
RIP Skye ✝️
