Morticia getting ready for take off

to the next pole for her piece of chicken. She is quite old and has been doing this for many years now.

She was rescued as a young injured bird and brought to eagle encounters. Her wings were badly damaged and she could not be released back into the wild.

I will post a sequence of her take off the next three days.
