Sage, the Great Horned Owl.
Raptor eggs.
K-1 students enjoy the presentation by Lynn Tompkins from Blue Mountain Wildlife. If you'd like to know more about her non-profit organization go to http://www.bluemountainwildlife.org/
Lynn talking about the Golden Eagle that was brought to her after it broke it's wing.
Lynn is demonstrating how a kestrel tries to keep it's head steady during a wind storm.
More about this little kestrel - sometimes prey, sometimes predator.
This Golden Eagle weighs about 11 pounds, it is North America's largest bird of prey. It is a carnivore that especially likes to eat rabbits. Notice his talons and sharp beak.
