| Denver International Airport is rated as the highest bird strike airport in the United States. Many raptors in the area make life difficult for those flying in and out of the mile-high city. Sometimes raptors are removed for their own safety or operational logistics as was the case with these Barn Owls. Their makeshift nest was located on a radio transmission tower needing regular maintenance. |
| Great Horned Owls bring life to a shopping center
in Wyoming. The great horned owl that was nesting at the Sunrise
Shopping Center had two hatchlings. April Franklin, Assistant Property
Manager, talks to trib.com about reaction to the
owls. Thanks to Reddog for the link. |
| Spend a few minutes to take a look at Andrew Zuckerman's perspective on birds. The fact that raptors are a significant part of this video is just a bonus. Elegantly simple, this beautiful interlude let's us admire these fascinating creatures. |
| The little screech owl should never be underestimated. They often attack prey larger and more formidable than they appear to be. This great video clip from Michigan says it all. |
| Think of the drama involved in being the prey and
attempting to elude one of the most powerful raptorial predators on the
planet. Make sure you watch this in full screen mode, and if your
connection is fast enough, view it in HD. 1000 frames per second.
Simply stunning!
Thanks to our friends at Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary in England. |
| We see eagles almost daily at our new facility in
