Walk in the Woods

Went for a hike on the property for the first time in quite awhile. There were signs of spring everywhere and there were already a few flowers popping up. Gave me a chance to clear my head - now if only the flies would disappear!

Home Remodel

Well, its spring time and for many wild critters that means time to build your nest. Even our captive critters are getting in the act! Delilah is busy rearranging her home :)

Owl Release

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to watch 2 immature male snowy owls be released on the Audubon Center property. These birds were brought up by The Raptor Center so they could begin their migration north. It is always great to see the birds return to the wild!

It landed in a tree and immediately got mobbed by crows!

There is also a video of the release if you want to watch it: Snowy Release
