FOLLOW THE EAGLES' NEST


Have you been following the SW Florida Eagles' nest?


Update: E23 has branched! ("Branching" is a critical point in a young raptor's development. It occurs when the young bird ventures out of the nest for the first time. First outings are spent on the branches close to the nest. As they get more confident, they climb and perch on branches farther from the nest, and hop-fly between branches. During this time, they are also "winger-sizing," or exercising the great wings that will carry them through life, until - one day - they know it's time to try flying, and they open their wings and take to the sky. Young eagles stay near the nest for awhile after fledging, and are fed by their parents, who teach them how to fish and hunt.)

Owl Star


It’s common knowledge in Harry Potter circles that Hedwig (Harry's owl) is played in the movie version by a male Snowy Owl. Perhaps the male’s prominent white coloration contributes to the magical atmosphere. On a more pragmatic note, female raptors tend to be heavier than males (up to 26% heavier in Snowy Owls) making the males considerably easier to handle!

BIG NEWS!


Our donation forms now accept ACH bank transfer (also known as eCheck) payments! You now can make donations through bank transfer, instead of using your credit card or PayPal account. The advantage of this is that 100% of your donation comes to us, rather than a percentage going toward credit card processing fees.


Once you've entered your personal information and are ready to donate, a screen will pop up allowing you to choose your bank. Then you'll be prompted to log into your online banking account and choose the account (checking, savings, etc.) you wish to pay from. Easy peasy!!

Thanks to people like you, we were able to rescue, rehabilitate, and release this beautiful Great Horned Owl, who came to us starving and emaciated. After a few weeks in our facility, he was released, to continue life in the wild. Won't you make a donation, so we can help others like him? No contribution is too small!


Your donation is tax deductible.
