Hi everyone, I have a minute or two before class and wanted to pop in and say hey. I have updated the blog with two cute videos of our barn owls in the nursery...
Stephanie -- question for you -- your website mentions the saw-whet owl Aspen, and says that the gender isn't known because the only way to know is to have...
While taking a break along the coast north of Ventura CA this afternoon, fortunately with my camera in my hand, this bald eagle flew right over me. They are...
Hi Evet, We don't typically have any of our birds sexed by a vet (surgical or blood test) because of expense, but I would think that you are right and they ...
Raptors, specifically can be sexed by blood tests but can also have gender assessed with a tiny piece of feather. In the post that talked about the Bald Eagle...

... Funny you should mention this...as I write this my daughter and grand- daughters are enroute to Catalina to tour the new incubation facility at the IWS's...
Thanks Bill. I uploaded a photo to the group. I can clearly see the blue tag, 29, but do not see an A. Reasonable to assume this is one of the NCI A birds? ...
Chuck: Sorry I missed the obvious. I assumed the BE in your post title was part of the marker ID. When in fact you were cataloging the photo as Bald Eagle BE...
After a little research the bird you saw is a 2004 male taken from Alaska at about 6-8 weeks of age as part of a transplant program and was hacked on Catalina....
I was out birding Sunday near the Mexican border in a fantastic raptor enviroment - the Tijuan River Valley. I spotted this immature Copper's Hawk soaring...
Interesting photo. If those feathers were plucked by another bird (or even the Cooper’s) often there can be damage to the follicle and new feathers will not...
Hi everybody, I posted a cool video this morning of Sara and Gomez, our red legged seriemas, getting weighed. They are really mellow, laid-back birds. My ...
Not many raptors around my neck of the woods these days. I've been trying off and on for a few weeks to get some shots of a couple of northern harriers....
Nice shots Cleve. I have found Northern Harriers to be really skittish birds...darn hard to get anywhere near them. We see them out over the edge of the dunes...
I got an email from David Gregoire yesterday that a new site of nesting peregrines had been located, so today we met to get a better view of what was going on....
Hello, A few days ago I became a member of Raptor Watch and I would like to introduce myself. My name is Froona Veldhuis and I am from the Netherlands. I've...
Hi Froona, I'm glad you have joined us. I've been watching the development of your website for many months. Of course, like most Americans, I barely read...
Welcome to Froona and her wonderful blog and pictures of the peregrines around the world. Now, if I just had time to watch all those scrapes! I used to, when I...
Hi everyone, I posted a new video on the WBS blog this morning of our pied crows Einstein and Othello getting weighed. You can hear Othello say hello. It's...
This past week, I spent all of my photography time trying to document in video and stills the nesting of Morro Bay's newest peregrine pair. You may have read...
Your narrative is as entertaining as your stills. I giggled at the Tai Chi bit. I was honored with #5 and #6 poses at the rock last season, the remains to be...
