Raptors

Filed under: Wildlife, Updates — DesertGazette @ 5:58 pm

I don’t have too much time, then yet I never do. But I just wanted to point out the new section on raptors/birds of prey.

The coolest thing (although there are many), is that they have three eyelids.  One movable from the top, one from the bottom and one from the side, a membrane which they use in flight to keep their big ol’ eye moist and protected in the wind.

Got to run, tomorrow I have a class, the Mining History of Joshua Tree National Park, at the Desert Institute.  I have a great time at these and look forward to them.

bye.
