Here is a live cam of a red-tailed hawk nest in Portland, Oregon. It looks like the hawks have chosen a fire escape for a nesting site!

I was recently privileged to be treated to a Falconry exhibition; it was absolutely brilliant. When we came down for breakfast the falconer was stood in the hall in period garb with this incredible animal on his arm, it's not until you get close to them that you can fully appreciate their magnificence.

So I go on and it says "unavailable at this time"....I'm such a looser.😳
I'm an avid birdwatcher and I was driving down the 401 near London, Ontario on my way to Toronto for a meeting when I see this "bird" (a Great Horned Owl) on the side of the road. I stop and backup towards it and it doesn't move, I get out of the car and approach, cautiously, it's still alive but doesn't make any move to either defend itself or warn me off. I go back to the car and get a blanket, rap it in the blanket and put it in my car. I am aware that there is a Ministry of Natural Resouces office about a half an hours drive away and head there. They tell me that they don't take in wounded animals but that about an hours drive from there there is a raptor rehabilitaion center. Off I go. Well the long and the short of it is they are able to save the owl but are unable, due to a badly broken wing, to let it return to the wild. Turned out it was hit by a car or truck probably while diving for an animal and misjudged the traffic. I keep in touch with the center following it's recouperation and went back on several occasions to see it. P.S. I'll try the site again later.
