Bald Eagles | Fontenelle Forest Raptor Woodland Refuge
Did you know that two Bald Eagles, Fisher and Freedom, live in Fontenelle Forest's Raptor Woodland Refuge?
Bald Eagles have historically been threatened and endangered by hunting, pesticides, and lead poisoning - including both of our resident eagles.
Fisher suffered from an illegal gunshot wound and Freedom experienced lead poisoning before being rescued and treated.

Summer in the Raptor Woodland Refuge
มุมมอง 39หลายเดือนก่อน
During heatwaves, many of our birds of prey keep cool with misters, like Mesa the ferruginous hawk shown here. All the raptors who live at Fontenelle Forest have access to clean water and shade. Birds of prey don't sweat, instead, they pant to cool their bodies down. If you stop by the Raptor Woodland Refuge on a hot day, you may see Aero the peregrine falcon "loafing" in her pea gravel to keep...

Prescribed Fire: Fueling an Ecosystem
มุมมอง 1609 หลายเดือนก่อน
Fontenelle Forest is an oak savanna ecosystem, which is considered one of the most threatened plant communities in the world. Globally only 0.01% of oak savannas remain. At Fontenelle Forest, we conduct annual prescribed fires in order to help reduce the density of trees and woody shrubs, as well as increase the grass component of our native vegetation.

    These are literally canned up and sold for consumption in stores outside of the United States. Some varieties are more toxic than others and some people are more sensitive than others These must be thermally deactivated and during the cooking process it is the steam that is the most dangerous. Apparently the toxic chemical is carried away by the steam. If I remember correctly this chemical is used as a rocket propellant 🚀 This is why there are so many alien sightings, just gassing up. 😄

    Thanks for the informative video! I'm positive my boy, Kiwi, is a Fowler's, except for two reasons...His dorsal crown, color, patterning, personable/reactive personality, and relative size are identical to that of fowleriil, yet the sound of his call, fact he has a small black spot below his throat, and high elevation area (Colorado Springs) where he was found isn't "right". The call also sounds nothing like fowlerii - it's very quiet (we joke about saying how he would attract a dog with his "squeaky toy-ness"), then again he is assumed to be around 1 year and 7 months - under the age of sexual maturity which is 2 years. He could just be "practicing" and has not reached adulthood. Overall, I'm convinced Kiwi's pure Fowler's or possibly a hybrid (bufos fowleri x woodhousii). I'm doing even more research to double check :)

    • @rat_dragon
      @rat_dragon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Btw his "rescue" was pretty intense. We suspect he was attacked by a raccoon or barely got away from a bird. The skin on his left arm was completely ripped away and slightly bleeding when my Mom first found and brought him to me. Fortunately, I had honey on hand. I applied it and within maybe a a week or two, his arm was completely healed! Now Kiwi's "living the life" in a 12×12 terrarium but should be moving into a 24/30/36" bio-active enclosure! He's a spoiled boy feeding readily on anything that approaches whether it be his staple of fingers, Repashy Meat Pie or the occasional wax warm, mealworm, or even berries in gelatin (yet planing more variety)! What an imperfect, beautiful boy he is! :D

      ​​@@rat_dragon Male toads make a chirp sound if they are grabbed by other toads(or by humans), as a way to let other male frogs know to leave them alone and not try to mate with them. They chirp especially if you touch their sides. Some toads will chirp if their back is touched.

      Hi Dan, I reached out to our resident expert on toads and here's what he had to say. "The Woodhouse’s Toads life span is normally 2-4 years, depending on their environment. They’ll sometimes live longer in captivity since they don’t have to fight for their food, and there are no predators to hunt them. In captivity, they might be able to live up to 6-8 years.
