The ones that stand out in memory were a hawk, an owl, and a great blue heron. I always knew he was a bit crazy, but catching either of those with his bare hands probably could have been entertaining to say the least. He always had contacts that did animal rescue and recovery, but he liked to show them off first. You just never knew what he had in the trunk of the car when he came home! Back in about 1992 my wife worked in a building that had a garden and mirrored glass at the front entrance. One day as she was leaving a humming bird flew into the mirror glass and fell down near her. She picked it up and put it in a small box in the car. After picking our son up from daycare she opened the box to show him. The bird had only knocked itself out, and now revived flew around inside the car. They drove hove a bout 15 miles of heavy traffic with the bird flying around. When they got home the parked in the garage, closed the door and let the bird fly around in the garage. I was tasked to catch the bird but never succeeded. Finely opened the garage door and let it fly free. Then there was the small owl that flew up my garage attic access ladder and sat on the wind turbine going round and around. But that’s a story for another day.
