More NE Release Photos

NE was alert and ready to go. He jumped out of the arms of Lisa Barlow up onto the perch. After a few seconds to look about and see where he was he launched, turned to his left and flew low but gaining height and crossed the Rose Garden and flew toward his nest tree about 500 yards away. NBG staff had been placed to stop foot traffic for a few minutes so that he would have a clear flight path. Could not have been a better release. Perfect! – Photos – Reese F Lukei Jr

Hi Reese,

I’m confused a bit on why foot traffic had to be stopped at the garden. I think I understand why but am not sure. Thank you 🙂

Wild Irish – Foot traffic on the footpath adjacent to where NE was being released was stopped so as to give him an unobstructed view and no possible interference. As it turned out that is exactly where he flew across. In the last photo he is flying right across that path.
