More birds as promised! There is nothing quite like the sensation of having a bird this massive sweep silently over your head. Great Horneds are sometimes called the Storybook Owl, because their ear tufts and deep hooting voice are like the classic owls in children’s stories. They are found all over North America, from the arctic to the tropics. Great Horned Owls are powerful hunters that can take large prey including Ospreys, Peregrine Falcons, Prairie Falcons, and other owls. They also eat much smaller items such as rodents, frogs, and scorpions.
Many thanks to everyone for all the support and encouragement on yesterday’s post. This community is so amazing!
@princessicajessica There was no direct interaction - the handlers were the only ones working with them. But it was a small group (11 people) and we could get quite close.
@radiogirl You will have such a great time! I think it's a wonderful idea to do it with your sisters. I would love to go back in the winter, except for the whole frozen hands thing.

I can’t wait to go to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy again!
