Barred owls? Yep. Peregrine falcons? Got them too. Black sparrowhawks? You betcha! Osprey, tawny owls, and great horned owls also come up in the conversation with Rob Bierregaard as we stake out his backyard screech owls and talk about urban birds of prey.
Black Sparrowhawk, Cape Town, South Africa by Gill Cowan
We listen to an interview with Jessleena Suri about Cape Town’s thriving black sparrowhawks. And Tony and Billy drop in on a falcon banding event at Philadelphia’s City Hall – featuring the PA Game Commission’s Art McMorris and local falcon watcher Don Perelman.
We wind up with #wildlifebling from Texas herper Shaun Hayes, who takes us on a trip to the Trinity River Bottomlands in Dallas.
