Ohio Bird Sanctuary and Mohican Outdoor Weekend.

Great Horned Owl
On Sunday of the weekend, The Ohio Bird Sanctuary displayed many of its birds of prey.  They are birds who live in captivity.  Some think that they are humans but all look like birds.

Barred Owl
They were held by staff members wearing thick leather gloves.  The birds where tethered to the gloves.  We could get close to view them but were not permitted to touch them.  I really wanted to.  

Barn Owl
Previously, I had only seen a barn owl sleeping.  

Harris Hawk
These hawks do not live in Ohio but instead Arizona.  It was especially meaningful for me to see this bird since I had recently seen a documentary about them.  They hunt in packs.

American Kestrel
These are small in comparison to the other birds of prey.  I believe they said that one can fly as fast as 65 miles/hour.
