Day 180 - See a Great Horned Owl, Falcon, and a Hawk

“If you can develop this ability to see what you look at, to understand its meaning, to readjust your knowledge to this new information, you can continue to learn and to grow as long as you live and you’ll have a wonderful time doing it.” 
― Eleanor Roosevelt


I took my kids to the library for one of their family programs.  Hawk Watch was there and they had a Falcon, which was smaller than I was expecting.  A hawk, that had these amazing deep brown feathers.    Then they pulled out a Great Horned Owl.  SO COOL!  I have never seen an owl up close like that before.  We have tons of owls in the trees around our house and we can see them at night flying overhead, but to see one up close!

The details of the feathers was amazing.  Their feathers are spread out, like if you took your fingers and spread them out and then clapped with just your fingers.  See how quiet it is vs if you close your fingers and clap with just your fingers.  And…it turned its head 180 degrees.  SO COOL!
