Meet Fe!
This American Kestrel came to us in 2021 from Santa Fe, New Mexico. After her rescue, she became too accustomed to humans to survive in the wild. Today, she plays an important role as an ambassador. #Falcon #birdsofprey #ambassador

@wildflowerowls How long does she have to be gone to consider the nest abandoned?
English

We're excited to share some unexpected news: we monitored the nest after it was believed the 2nd owlet had died & Athena had abandoned. Later that afternoon the owlet began moving again & we helped coordinate a rescue—owlet is doing better, read more:

Some parts of wildlife rehabilitation are difficult, but important to talk about. In this video, we share how we approach end-of-life decisions and why compassion and quality of life guide everything we do. #WildlifeRehabilitation #AnimalWelfare #WildlifeRescue

@bioreconstruct Huh. So tree companies aren’t right when they say you can’t cut all of the fronds off.
English

@bioreconstruct Interesting. I’d like to see a follow up on these trees in the future. Our HOA has always been told by tree companies that you can’t remove all of the fronds at once because it will kill the tree.

@theRCLblog Where should I see these bundles? If I don’t see it in the app, does that mean it isn’t available?

Royal Caribbean introduced new bundles. Here how they work royalcaribbeanblog.com/2026/01/22/roy… #cruise #travel

Update on one of our newest patients: Mahito, a Great Blue Heron.
Mahito arrived from Ketchikan underweight and hypothermic. After X-rays showed no additional injuries, he was warmed and began eating on his own. #WildlifeCare #GreatBlueHeron #WildlifeRehabilitation

@PaulFox13 @PaulFox13 we drove home from Orlando early this morning. The skies were clear and visibility was fine. There were several areas along 4 where there was a blanket of fog 30-50 feet high over the fields along the highway. Is it cooler and/or more humid over soil to cause that?

@RaptorOrg Today is my birthday and my husband got me two adopted birds from Alaska Raptor Center - Narwhal and Rain. What a great birthday!
English

@mashtuesdays Happy birthday! I’ll be celebrating my birthday on Monday. Too bad I have to go to work

@RaptorOrg Congrats on the release. We’re on a cruise that we planned a year and a half ago. Was so looking forward to visiting you and we just found out they canceled our port stop on Monday because of weather. I’m so disappointed not to visit you. ☹️

Our Fall Bald Eagle Release was a success! Thanks to your support, 4 rehabilitated Bald Eagles have now returned to the wild. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do, giving raptors a second chance at life. 🦅 #BaldEagle #FlyFree #AnimalRescue youtu.be/YxPyuyowps0

@RaptorOrg Any tips for walking to the Alaska Raptor Center from the cruise port?

A Bald Eagle's white head may make it look bald, but actually, the name comes from an old English word, meaning white. #baldisbeautiful #Birding #NatureEducation

This nestling #Robin was found here in Sitka, AK, and could not be returned to its nest. The robin is being fed a protein rich diet, including egg, mealworms, and even some salmonberries and blueberries! Every bite helps it grow closer to life in the #wild. #BabyAnimals #nature

Might be helpful to share an older photo of the Hidden Mickey island along the safari route.

Although Disney's Animal Kingdom is closed due to #COVID19 its residents still need care. At center, a Cast Member walking the safari route. Note birds in flight ahead of the CM, and Flamingos on the island. Aerial photo today.

@RoyAlbatrossCam Does the octopus come to the surface and is eaten or does the albatross go underwater to catch it?
English

6/28
Wind and rain didn't stop Mom GLG coming in to feed chick, although the last mouthful, an octopus head, was too big and fell to the ground. It wont be wasted.
The cleanup crew, Black-backed gulls, were in and out for most of the afternoon.

The anhinga aka snakebird, water turkey, piano bird or as I like to call them “Amazing Aquatic Dino from Jurassic Park 23.”
When it comes to eating, these birds always find themselves in a rather curious and bizarre predicament. With the grace of an underwater ballerina and the enthusiasm of a medieval jouster, the Anhinga uses its long, pointy beak to spear fish while gliding through swampy waters.
And since they’ve got no arms, no hands, and not a single finger in sight, removing said fish becomes a full-on physics lesson.
They must somehow remove the fresh catch without dropping it. How in the world do they manage this? With a skill that is honed sharper than their own beak.
They carefully toss the fish into the air. Spin it so it goes down headfirst and at the final millisecond before release they apply a brilliant little twist, a subtle flick that arcs the fish perfectly back down the hatch.
One thing’s for certain. Anhingas don’t need chopsticks. Glad I’m not a fish and so happy to have hands.
