Bird show (1)

Yesterday we had a bird show as a birthday present for a good friend. On a cold winterday several birds were presented to us as this "Caracara" , a smart bird from the US.

A screech owl.

This one is a Harris Hawk.



I am sorry, I have to look for their names.

But this was the birthday girl with an Oehoe.( eagle-owl) . Tomorrow more.

  8. Dearest Marianne,
    What a SHOW, even if it was COLD...
    That 3rd photo showing a spectacular Harris Hawk (Woestijnbuizerd) is my favorite! Guess they are quite intelligent too!
    Hugs and happy weekend.

  11. Amazing to see them so close up...great birthday gift! We see the caracaras occasionally here in Florida and we used to when we stayed in Texas , ..they are actually the National Bird of Mexico! The Bald Eagle, like in your post above, is the US National Bird.

  12. These bid guys would really scare me if I was there in close proximity to them. They all look to be in very bad moods. LOL
