Stormwater Treatment Area 5/6, Hendry Co, FL.
Deer in our neighborhood.
Perched in a tree, but an unmistakable silhouette.
Along the McDade trail at Bushkill.
Strix varia, Barred owl: struck by a motor vehicle; unable to fly and could not be released into the wild
Tyto alba, Barn owl: Imprinted on human; had been raised as a pet; could not be released into the wild
Falco sparverius, American kestrel: Injured during a clear-cutting logging operation; unable to fly or be released into the wild
Audio added. The recording labelled "Original" features the sounds of waves crashing in the background. But not real waves...waves from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's water feature at their headquarters in Silver Spring, MD!
this piece of the sound recording was mostly from the oak tree close to the building, then it flew off and across the channelized stream to trees there (where the calling had started).
Recorded audio of several but can't figure how to upload to mobile application.
Gray upper parts, light gray to white underparts with buff shading, crest, dark primary feathers
