A fun fact about our peregrines here is they have larger feet because a lot of our birds are pretty big!

Captured this Barn Owl at first light at silly high ISO 😂

Our Ring camera caught this and nothing else. We went to check the area a minute later and the hawk was gone. We found a 4-5 inch hole in the general area of this bush. Can anyone weigh in on this behavior? Does it seem injured?

I spent all summer watching this lady scare off the neighborhood crows, never having gotten close enough to see what type of bird it was.

Friday evening, I found her in the gutter and unable to fly. I called a raptor rescue ~2 hours away and was blown away by their response. A volunteer was there within two hours, and was able to capture her without further injury. I was so impressed by this rescue and their dedication to the cause.

Sad ending as she had a broken elbow, but I’ve come to understand this was a special bird that people enjoying seeing and wanted to share.
