If you cannot find the nest or it’s too destroyed, do not try and raise a chick this young. It’s illegal to raise wild birds (even orphaned ones) without state and federal permits. Owls are a little different. They don’t build nests and some like Great Horned Owls take over old hawk or squirrel nests.

A beautiful series of raised boardwalks have been constructed, allowing year round access to the area, thru the marsh area, all the way out nearly a half mile into the tidal flats. I ran into a birder on the board walk who asked if I had gotten to see the Northern Saw-whet Owl , back on the road into the refuge.

I’m currently in a very intense on phase with this millennia-old craft, churning out sweaters and mini-mitten ornaments, and an abstract-looking owl. My grandmother taught me to knit when I turned nine, and since then I have knit on and off throughout my teens and twenties. Happy bird-knitting! The post Can’t go birding?

Largely because of the same reason this past summer was a such a good year for Snowy Owls , resulting in a huge irruption of them into the south, we are seeing huge numbers of Arctic Hares this spring. Last summer saw lemmings at a high point in their population cycles.

But I’m not talking about owling, or listening for rails, or even pointing a microphone skyward to collect flight calls of migrants. Which these days involves a frenzy to breed and raise a brood. Birds arrive, and immediately start the business of breeding, so they can raise a family and be gone before winter arrives.

It watched me, calmly, until I sat down about 7 feet away (almost at minimum focusing distance) and we both regarded each other, and I occasionally raised the camera and snapped off another frame. I knew that it was a behaviour that was common in owls but I had never even heard of it with hawks before.

Which is not to say that it doesn’t contain striking images of birds parenting the most adorable songbirds, owls, and heron nestlings imaginable. Most of these species can be found throughout the United States and Canada, and when they’re not, pains are taken to balance each Eastern species with a Western species.
