stay safe babies
I miss my little coons❤ they look so happy
They are so fascinating to watch.
Do you have suggestions to deture the little ones from coming into the house through the cat doors for midnight cat food.....it just started happening a couple weeks ago, they are still terrified of us, but hiding the food doesnt stop them
Regina Fallon after huskies we are moving on to racoons 😍😍😍😍

Horrible

I don't know whats more tragic, the fact that so many people enjoy killing these birds and birds of prey, or the number that die from lead poisoning.
This is a whole new level of stupid.
Learning about the physical adaptations of wildlife is fascinating stuff and a topic we like discussing in our education programs. One of our favorite adaptations to talk about are the baffles that Falcons have in their nares (bird nostrils)..
This is Gavin, our Peregrine Falcon ambassador who is not releasable due to a wing fracture that did not heal correctly. Notice the little point in the center of his nare? That is actually a boney structure called a ‘baffle’ which allows air to circulate properly through the lungs & air sacs so the bird can breathe while sustaining speeds over 200mph. Have you ever stuck your head out of a moving car window and tried to breathe but instead choked on air? The same thing used to happen to airplane turbines that exceeded certain speeds in the 1950’s & 60’s before engineers applied this baffle system to all modern-day jets. This method of incorporating designs from nature into modern engineering is called biomimicry. So the next time you fly in an airplane you can thank falcons for its efficiency!

Freedom Friday! This Western Screech Owl was found on the side of the road most likely having been hit by a car. An examination by our veterinarian revealed a broken leg which was successfully treated. He spent some time healing and recovering in our flights and is now back in his home territory 🙂. Good luck out there little yet fierce owl!
