Finally got to make a return visit to the first owl rehab I visited. The Raptor Trust is a nice medical and rehab facility in northern NJ.
It's a great facility to look around, but picture taking is absolutely terrible. They have very fine netting on all the enclosures. Most of my pics look like this, no matter how hard I tried.
I'll share a few I got where you can actually see the birds. The post picture is of the most beautiful Barred Owl they had, Sonny.
My merch haul!
Picked up the physical version of the What an Owl Knows book. I've been reading a PDF of it, but there are so many things I've bookmarked in it, I absolutely had to buy this legitimately to support the author. I still haven't finished it, but there is so much great stuff on every single page. This is where I've found out a ton of facts and the scientific studies I've shared with you here. If you want a physical copy of what I share with you here, just buy this book. It's awesome.
Also picked up a deck of owl playing cards to take on trips, and the girlfriend opted for this Saw Whet keychain. She liked how pudgey it is.
These are all the keychains and pins.
I flipped through this book quickly. It's about much more than Screech Owls. It's a little less advanced looking than What an Owl Knows, but it has lots of color pictures. Added it to my wishlist.
Cute collection of planters.
Some nice wooden ornaments.
Gift shop is also online if any of this strikes your fancy.
