I took this a few weeks ago. We saw the nest while biking through a trail through what used to be an ammunition plant. It’s right by where they’re planning on building the new Vikings stadium, thereby destroying all the nature bits.
The area is all sealed off and I’m not really into […]

Never when I have the camera, naturally. One time I rushed home and got the camera but by the time I got back, they were gone. Apparently they can fly away or something.

Posted by sterlingphoenix at 23:10:50 on May 10th, 2010 | Category: Photos | Tags: birds I noticed a couple of these just walking around the neighbourhood for the past few weeks.

The raptor center is a combination vet/education center for and about raptors. They take in wounded raptors form all over the country and do their best to heal them, and then release them back into the wild.
Some birds, while healed, can’t be released back into […]
