Did you know, in the first 4 years of a Bald Eagle's life they go through a varied plumage change? Luci is a juvenile Bald Eagle and Raptor-in-Residence here at the Alaska Raptor center. Luci will be in her 4th years this May.

The American Kestrel is North America's smallest falcon. It only weighs between 2-6 ounces. https://t.co/xCxC7wBB2i

[Backyard Bird Blog @BYbirdblog]

@geococcyxcal Yes they are! I'm looking forward to the upcoming nesting season.

[Backyard Bird Blog @BYbirdblog]

@geococcyxcal Looks like a 1st year female. A 6ft to almost 7 ft long wingspan will definitely fill up your frame!

[Backyard Bird Blog @BYbirdblog]

Great Gray Owl sighted in the next town over. Yep, I will looking for it this weekend.

[Backyard Bird Blog @BYbirdblog]

Completely agree! https://t.co/W3qUrsojnb

Today 17 former Interior officials who served every administration from Nixon to Obama sent a letter to Ryan Zinke to let him know his department's reinterpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is bad. https://t.co/VwuUxicLEI

Thank you @NC_Governor for your leadership in opposing oil & gas drilling off North Carolina's coast. It's simple - birds and oil don't mix! https://t.co/TxSzclAurY
