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.
Vultures are large birds that eat carrion, the flesh of dead animals. There are 23 species of vulture and they’re divided into two groups: Old World Vultures and New World Vultures.
Because of their different diet, pellets from Horned Owls are more challenging to identify prey. The pellets are chalkier, more porous and more fragile than Barn Owl pellets.
Red-Tailed Hawks are so named for their red tails. The rest of their bodies are usually brown on the back, with white feathers on the front.
Wolves live in packs and within those packs is a very specific hierarchy. The alpha male and female are the leaders of the pack, the beta wolves are underneath them, and then there are several wolves ranked below them that go all the way down to the omega wolves.
After spending months working from home, schooling from home, staring from one screen to the next can start driving you crazy. You go from your computer to your phone to the television and without a commute, it feels like there’s no real break from everything where you can put the phone away and just sit and do something completely different.
Customers love owl pellet dissection! A ten pack is perfect for a family group activity or individuals to compare what they find in each one! Plus with our ten pack, you get a copy of our Habitat, Habits, and Prey Guide, which is full of information and walks you through the dissection process! .
Northern Hawk Owls can be found in northern areas like Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia. Throughout the world, there are three subspecies, but only one can be found in North America.
Owls are a great resource to study to learn more about the ecosystems they’re in and the prey they eat. However, like many animals today, they face threats to their survival.
Starting a career in biology is hard. It’s easy to feel lost.
We’ve all heard of the term “night owl” before. It’s used to describe people who like to stay up late.
Wolves were reintroduced in 1996, and since then biologists have done a lot of work to keep track of them, study them, and keep them safe.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and we have the most wonderful gift to match! Our North Pole Bone Sleuth Kit is back in stock for the holiday season! Give the gift of science and join in on the fun as your child dissects a barn owl pellet and discovers what the owl ate!.
