State 14 of 50
Wow, great website, Facebook, and more from the Indiana Raptor Center!
They’re always open to tours by appointment, have regular shows in Brown Country State Park, they’re Open House Event is coming up on October 15, and all October outdoor shows at the state park are 100% owls for the Halloween season!
If you’re anywhere near Indiana, I would definitely encourage you to check these guys out!
Do click through those links too! Tons of great owl, hawk, and eagle content. They have exceptionally good media, and it sounds like they are having a tough time financially right now, so big shout out to them and please visit and support them if possible.
I’m going to drop the caption comments down in the comments since this went on so long.
I will def post pictures after I go! I really appreciate the effort it takes to find good things to post. I’d love to be able to see an eagle up close! We have a barred owl that hangs around our house but it’s so hard to get a good picture of it.
Very nice! We had a barn owl on our fence as a kid. That’s been the best I ever really got to see one in the wild. I hear the great horned owls where I’m at now, but haven’t ever gotten to see them. I think I’m in the wrong side of the woods from where they go. I did see one that must have gotten something to eat right at the edge of the road a few weeks ago. We saw the cat in front of us swerve and when we got there it was a giant GHO! I went by a couple days later and didn’t see signs of anything, so I hope he flew away before anything happened to him.
It is fun posting here, and I was really hoping to get people to visit these places. Plus I get to learn more things. This week I learned that the ear tufts are called plumicorns, and that in French, they have different words for owls with and without tufts. The one word for owl also is slang for cool/awesome/etc.
