April 2023 – Ranger Ramblings

NWDC Raptor Center Director Diana Miller drew a beautiful red-tailed hawk out from a portable carrier and held it up for all to see.

A highlight of the past month for me was hiking with a group of kids from the Boys and Girls Club to the top of Lookout Point.

Many children enjoy our camps so much that they return year after year, but it’s equally awesome having new campers join in the fun.

On the last day of camp, the campers had the honor of moving five baby owls and one adult owl to the flight cage…

Often wheel-like or cylindrical “snowballs” are formed naturally as chunks of snow roll down hill picking up further snow along the way.

Unfortunately, most insects like moths are specialists, meaning they only eat one type of plant, and lay their eggs on these plants.
