Releases

Over the summer I was also able to do a couple releases featuring kestrels and a great horned owl. April-september are some of our busiest months due the heavy increase of mating among the bird species. I am not sure of the stories of the birds I released by we were able to get them back up and running and back into the wild.

Some Fun Facts about these two birds:

The American Kestrel is the smallest falcon in North America, and the second smallest in the world. They can dive at up to 60 mph and can see Ultra Violet light.

The Great Horned Owl are called Tigers of the Sky because of their fierce hunting habits. They also love to eat skunk, they lack a sense of smell so they can't get bothered by skunk stink!
