Bird of prey

good.

Like give me eyes to see the Ravens.

And I think when you start to take note of that stuff, then you realize how close he actually is.

Yeah.

Never worry a thing about that.

Well, let's see, the Upper Schuylkill Valley Park and Wildlife Center, Black Rock Road in Royers Ford, Pennsylvania, has a special program next Saturday from 1 to 3, Birds of Prey.

Guests will learn all about resident hawks, owls, and eagles, and vultures.

will discover their differences in behavior, diets, habitats, and more.

So that's at the Upper Schuylkill Valley Park and Wildlife Center next Saturday.

They're located at 1615 Black Rock Road in Royersford, Pennsylvania.

You can go and learn about birds of prey, and that will be next Saturday.

Also next Saturday, the Carbon County Environmental Education Center, Can You Survive? Are you as clever as a fox, as wily as a coyote? This program will begin with a short quiz about our native animals before participants discover how hard it is to survive, and they may role-play various Pennsylvania animals.

Birds of prey.

And back then, do you know what year was that? Was that 17, 18, 19, 2019? Do you know

what year? When we were over there, so was it...

It's been a pleasure.

Danny Erickson is a Raptor researcher and the banding director at the Cedar Grove Ornithological Research Station.

He spoke with Lake Effect's expert Nunez for this month's Chirp Chat.

You can sign up for a field trip to the station next year through the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin.

Falcon.

Raptor.

Eagle.

Yeah, get Joey the fuck out of here.

Raptor.

You already put Raptor.

Why are you typing Raptor twice? Name a live action Disney remake of an animated film.

Oh, it's fucking over.

So remember, it's 12.32. And the exercise we were doing with everybody is describe this organization as an animal.

and all the descriptions were kind of birds of prey like eagles and ospreys and cheetahs things that move fast and kill things basically and we'd heard from everybody in the room bar one a cfo and by now it's five minutes to one Food is on the table.

And the CEO, if it was a comic strip movie, would have those laser beam eyes blowing my head up because they want to eat.

And he keeps doing this to me, goes tap, tap, tap, and points to the watch on his wrist.

Yeah.

And so I was thinking sneaky, slinking in the grass.

And the other point that struck me is everybody else was thinking of birds of prey.

Birds of prey attack snakes a lot of times.

Hold on a while

Flying high, flying high.

Bird of prey, bird of prey.

Flying high, flying high.

placing each half opposite the other, but he did not cut up the bird.

Birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Avram drove them away.

As the sun was about to set, a deep sleep fell upon Avram, and great dark dread descended upon him.

And God said to Avram, Know well that your offspring shall be strangers in a land not theirs.

But you put it in the bird's head and you strike it closed and then it leaves it dark.

And these birds of prey, especially hawks, are 90% sight oriented.

So when they cannot see, they, for lack of a better term, are basically meditating, dead calm.

Even a bird you catch from the wild, they're terrified of you at first, of course, because they think you're going to eat them.

So have they figured out what kind of frame rate they can see it? I don't think they've done actual studies and it definitely varies.

You

know, there's 550 species of birds of prey and it's absolutely different,

you know, between owls and falcons and hawks.
