Aggressive Spotting
Thank you Ariana, and BrandonBlount for the advice. I will be posting more photos of birds from Mountsberg Conservation Centre soon.
Amazing images Courtney, Thanks for sharing.
Courtney, they usually don't give that to volunteers.. However cage cleaning (which can get pretty gross is on the volunteer list). ;-) I hope they take you on, it will be a life changing experience for you!!! Make sure to get in early, and get your name on the list and keep checking back often. They like many get tons of requests from people wanting to volunteer, but only select those that show serious interest.
Thank you Urek Jurek Wyder!
Thanks for the info Brandon. I'm hoping to work as a volunteer at the conservation centre where this owl lives next summer. Hopefully I won't be the designated squirrel skinner :)
Very, very ,very nice !!! Bravo ! :)
Awesome photos Courtney!!! The animal that it's eating appears to be the hind quarters of a squirrel. It's very common that wildlife rehab centers receive road kill donations from the cities/towns they are located in. In general they skin the animals to prevent fur and skin infesting parasites from getting onto the injured animals they are rehabbing. When we have injured raptors here we do the same thing. It's a standard of practice so to speak. (this is also done for pretty much all injured carnivorous species that are being rehabbed). :-D
Thank you all :)
gorgeous photos :)
Fantastic series
Beautiful!
I'm not sure. I thought it might have been a rat but could very well be a frog.
He is currently in captivity at a conservation centre. I believe he is injured witha broken wing.
Where did you see this beauty?
