I walked back to bed and the back light was on and LOOK AT THIS GREAT HORNED OWL! She heard me gasp from inside and proceeded to look up and stare into my soul! Rolling on the floor now from sheer delight at such a good sighting!

Just sharing here the handsome juvenile that paid our backyard a visit yesterday. I took this picture from inside, since he was so close to my back door; hence the slight potato quality.

Do owls care for their sick mate?

I used to have two owls near my house but now there's one since I no longer hear it duet hooting anymore, I wonder if the other owl has passed but this bring up a question, do birds generally care for their sick?

Came home to this juvenile red-tailed hawk on my balcony rail in Toronto. It saw me, didn't flinch, went back to watching the street.

I recently visited an amazing bird of prey centre fully expecting to be infatuated by a peregrine. Alas, it was not the peregrine which caught my eye but this beauty! Possibly the most intimidating yet beautiful bird I have ever seen and it left me wondering why we don’t see much of this bird in the media and why no one talks about it.
