If anyone is looking to get out hiking, watch for native wildlife, or make contributions to science, sign up for a Project Broadtail hike! I'll teach you everything you need to know about finding these hummingbirds. I have hikes scheduled through the beginning of July and they'll continue through the whole summer.

Hey everyone join yourself and spread the news! Tracy Aviary's newest Citizen Science Project. Anyone can join!

In Mount Olivet Cemetery, South of the University of Utah stadium, 2 of the original 3 Great Horned Owl babies have been seen with both parents nearby! The third owlet has been confirmed to be at Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah in Ogden, but healthy and planning on a release back to the wild very soon. Pictured here are an older chick with mother, younger chick in adjacent tree, and the father perched a couple of hundred meters away.

If you encounter a baby bird out of the nest, contact a professional before moving the nestling. Bird parents are very protective of their young and will continue to feed offspring out of the nest until independence.

Great Horned Owl Parent and Fledgling share a tasty, feathered snack near University of Utah.
