Not a happy ending to report today. Oprah, the camps new pet is missing and presumed off to 'hawk heaven'. The youngster wasn't content to stay in her cage, but always crying to get out and see the world. So as she grew older, she had earned more privileges; now having the run of the garage and riding around the camp in a golf cart with Hal. Apparently she managed to scoot out an open barn door when no one was looking and the local red tailed hawk may have seized the opportunity. We all hoped she had just wandered off but the odds are slim that she did. She has been missing for three days now.
So life in the animal kingdom is sometimes cruel and unforgiving but for a very short time this early summer, she provided us all with a special friendship and fond memories. R.I.P.
