Happy Friday!

Someone shared this on the RaptorCAM Facebook group and I thought it was fun.

Check out the live RaptorCAM here to check up on the baby owls!

    Great Horned Owl wiki:

    Mean body weight is 1,608 g (3.545 lb) for females and 1,224 g (2.698 lb) for males.

    Owls are about 60% feathers, but that still seems impressive for that little kid.

    I got to handle a Screech Owl this week and it was about the size and weight of an empty soda can. The leather glove was heavier! 😁

      I once had the opportunity to pet an owl and it’s kinda weird how the feather-shape offers almost no resistance and underneath is just a typical bird shape. I’ll stick to petting cats in the future.
