Awesome series
Mr. Guzman
It's neat how you guys are posting pics from the same place and time, and yet they're still different
KristaHerman
I haven't. Emily says there is an open house soon. I was planning on going to that.

I think as long as there's plenty of food, they don't mind sharing. I am used to these guys in flight cages - we feed them plenty so they don't compete. Have you visited the foundation?
KristaHerman
Thanks, I was surprised they didn't fight. Although maybe our presence was distracting them.
ChristyHolland
Krista, that is incredible!!! What a spotting!!! I have seen them both in the area of course, but how lucky to see them sharing a meal! Great pictures!
