Welcome to Ecology Blueprints, where wildlife and human ecology meet. This blog celebrates the wonder of nature, exploring the wildlife that thrives in our oceans, skies, cities, and wild spaces. Whether you’re here to learn, build, or be inspired, you’re in the right place. At OBDK, we believe every space should be a classroom, so you’ll find our Conservation in a Box blueprints on this page—real tools for real-world stewardship.
The Whiskered Screech Owl is another screech owl species that you can find in America. Within the United States, they have a limited range, and are found in the southern regions of New Mexico and Arizona.
All birds come from eggs. The process of hatching is the tough beginning birds have in their lives.
Nests are an important part of a raptor’s life. Different birds of prey will set up their nests in different spots depending on what they need and what habitat they thrive in.
Barn owls are incredible raptors. From their stealthy skills to the benefits they provide to farmers, these unique owls stand out from the crowd.
Bird eggs come in a variety of colors, sizes, and patterns. Have you ever wondered why? Scientists have been speculating about the reason for this for a long time and have come up with a few theories.
How big do you think the smallest bird in the world is? Just over two inches tall.
When you have land that is overrun with pests, instead of getting your hands on pesticides, go the more natural route and bring some Barn Owls in to handle the problem! Barn Owls are cavity dwellers.
The point of building a nest is to have a safe place to raise offspring. Nests can vary as much as human houses on a single street can.
As we round the corner from winter to spring, nesting is beginning for many of our favorite birds. While most don’t start until April, some species like Great Horned Owls, Golden Eagles, and Red-tailed Hawks have already begun.
Have you ever happened across a bird’s nest or a baby bird on the ground and not known what to do?Maybe you’ve heard that if you touch an egg or a baby bird then the parents will abandon it.
Ever wonder what it takes to film wildlife in their natural habitat? Alan Lacy knows and he takes you on the journey with him in his youtube series, Filming the Wild.
