Barn Owls have some amazing adaptations that allow them to be the best hunter they can be. First off, their heart shaped face acts like funnels, pulling in sound from all around them so they can hear their small prey. Second, they have super fluffy feathers, which helps to dampen the sound of their wings flapping. This helps them sneak up on prey, since their flight is silent!

Flight is this month's prompt for #WildArt2021 by @zoekellerart.

Riparian zones, or bodies of land along waterways, provide immensely valuable habitat. You can protect these areas where access to water is consistent, and plants provide both food and shelter, by participating in stream restoration projects, waterway clean up, and litter removals. These all help to keep these ecosystems clean, healthy, and able to support lots of biodiversity which in turn supports us!

It was amazing to watch this egret hunt! It would stand completely still, occasionally bobbing it's head, then take a few strides and stand stock still again. Finally, it dove it's head in the water so fast, coming up with a fish!
