Cute Little Raptors!

This picture was taken just outside of the Sacramento International Airport on a very windy Friday.  Normally, this Kestrel would bow into the wind.  It decided to stand up in between wind gusts.  

This is Sophia, a Saw Whet Owl.  She was hit by a truck and deemed unable to fly and hunt for herself so she was brought to Effie Yeaw Nature Center where she is well cared for.  She is so loved by everyone - especially the children that come to visit the Center.
