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.
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.
Arctic wolves are a subspecies of gray wolf. They live in the Arctic regions in North America and Greenland, located above 67° north latitude.
Nest boxes are wooden structures that are built and placed on someone’s property to help give birds a home. Many birds are cavity dwellers, which means they prefer to make their homes in the holes of old trees.
It’s no secret that wolves have faced many hardships within the United States. They’ve been the target of myths, misinformation, and misunderstanding for centuries.
We’ve all heard of the term “night owl” before. It’s used to describe people who like to stay up late.
We can learn a lot from owls. Just like how they use their incredible senses to snatch up their prey while hunting, we can use our own intuition, wisdom, and patience to reevaluate where we want to be in this new year and use our skills to reach those goals!.
Elf owls are the smallest type of owl. They only stand around five inches tall, and weigh between one ounce to an ounce and a half.
During the winter months, bears hunker down in their dens. These dens are only used for shelter during the winter, they aren’t permanent homes.
Long-Eared Owls are medium-sized owls that have very long ear tufts. They can be found in various regions from North America to the Middle East to Northern Africa.
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!.
