Dory - Northern Saw-whet Owl

Uploaded: May 16, 2017 09:06:16 | Entered: May 16, 2017 13:25:06

Description

Photographed at the Schiltz Audubon Center during a focus on bird of prey (particularly Raptors) even. The Audubon Center is located a little north of Milwaukee. It aims to educate through the care the staff gives to birds of prey that have met some ill fate and now must be continually cared for. The stories around each bird is fascinating and at times a little sad at how they got to the Center. With the care the staff gives them they flourish even if not releasable back into the wild.
