Did you know that an Owls elongated eyes are fixed in place by bony sclerotic rings? They can’t roll their eyes in their sockets like us humans. To make up for it, owls have incredible neck flexibility, able to turn their heads up to 270°! #OwlEyes #NatureAdaptations #Owlidays

Only 4 more days until Owlidays!

Have you ever wondered why our raptors don’t get fruits or veggies? All raptors, including Bald Eagles, are obligate carnivores, meaning their bodies are built to digest meat only. #carnivore #DidYouKnow #owlidays

The #Owlidays are almost over and it’s a great day to scratch, stretch, and hang out at home. #birds #owls #BUOW #burrowingowl #giveahoot #owlbeseeingyou #owlbeback

Owlidays is almost here! 🦉🎄 Join us at the Alaska Raptor Center on Saturday, December 21st, from 11am-2pm, for a magical day celebrating owls and the holiday season. Don’t miss this enchanting celebration of the season and our feathered friends! #Owls #sitka #owlidays

#DidYouKnow Unlike other birds, Owls lack a crop, a pouch in the throat of most birds that stores food for later digestion. Their unique digestive process leads to the formation of owl pellets, compact bundles of undigested parts like bones and fur. #Owls #OwlAdaptations #Owlidays

The countdown to Owlidays begins today! 🦉🎉 Meet Qigiq, a Snowy Owl here at the Alaska Raptor Center. Unlike many of their nocturnal counterparts, Snowy Owls are diurnal, embracing the endless Arctic summer days to hunt tirelessly!
