Part 3 of my path to Raptor Jawns - my 2008 internship at Shaver’s Creek! I handled so many different raptor species this summer, helped out by feeding, cleaning, and assisting with health checks and equipment making. I presented programs to campers and other visitors to the center throughout the summer, and was known by my nature name Windhover. 🪶🦉🦅

Then stroll the grounds of the arboretum to enjoy the plants and wildlife the space has to offer. Registration available on the Morris Arboretum website under the Learn & Discover section. 🪶🦉🦅
Part 2 of my path to Raptor Jawns! Studying environmental biology at Columbia, going out on my first hunting trip with falconers in Long Island, and TAing an ornithology course at the AMNH. 🪶🦉🦅

Love getting texts like this! It’s one of the fastest ways to get me to respond 😂 this is a stunning juvenile red tailed hawk on a rabbit in central PA. The bright chest, dark belly band, but especially those gorgeous light color eyes indicate it’s a young bird.

That little silhouette up top is a red tailed hawk looking fly above a newer 4ever tag (b***r appears to be MIA - iykyk, Philly). I frequently see red tails perched up high here by 69th street. Always love to see an urban raptor! ***r4ever

Despite the high temps, we had a wonderful time at the Icarus Cup last month! I ended up using the entirety of the spray bottle / portable shower to keep Medea and Hecate misted and cool. They’re both converted soccer fans now!

Had a great time presenting for the PIC campers last month for nature week! Loved the V is for Vulture tile in the classroom, too.

Two versions of birds and bees! A honey buzzard stealing some comb and Hecate next to some very cute bride-crocheted wedding decor!

Same owl - very different body language! In the first photo Hecate is looking quite alarmed as a turkey vulture swooped by. In the second photo she’s nice and relaxed in her aviary!

It always startles me to see her like this, but Medea is fine! Every now and then Medea likes to bask in the heat and suns herself on the ground of her aviary.
