Great Horned Owl

Gliding with a flash of gray Racing quickly towards its prey Every owl finds a nest Always on a perch at rest Two feet for scooping all its prey He’s eating mice to their dismay Outside, they’re hunting in the night Raptors soaring up at flight Never eats a plant or flower Endless meat will give it power Different colors gray to brown Oh, let the owl wear the crown Continue reading Great Horned Owl

Great Horned Owl

High up in the tree, looking for my prey, Once I spot it and catch it with my talons, it cannot get away. Red, brown faces with tufts on my head, Nests I prefer are from large birds that have fled.

What is a Quetzal?

Quite fascinating, am I…the Quetzal. Unlike many birds, I am very colorful. Green, red, white and sometimes purple. Eating bugs, lizards and avocado nuts as I go. The cloud forest is my home. My nest is soft as a leather throne. Zoos are not the place for me. An ant colony, a family of sloths and a nest of pit vipers all live in my forest. Legend has it that the phoenix is based on me. Continue reading What is a Quetzal?
