The Young Ones
The cute and the ugly, I think they are all adorable. The young birds of prey, from just hatched to a few weeks old. In this gallery I'll show how it goes with the young birds of prey that are raised from the egg by humans. I'd also like to show you how it is done by the real parents, however it is a real health risk approaching a nest with young raptors. I hope we will be able to install some web cams this season, then who kows, maybe next year you can watch it live online.
