March 29, 2018February 18, 2021 Supertrooper 10 Comments

Parker hadn’t killed only the one hawk. As a game warden walked up to Parker’s front […]

March 6, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

An Eagle Helps Preserve L.A. Land for a Wildlife Corridor

January 10, 2018February 18, 2021 Supertrooper 3 Comments

There are 17 acres of open land in the Hollywood Hills that provide a crucial corridor for wildlife like mountain lions, bobcats and deer.

Why This Young Hawk Thinks It’s an Eagle

August 2, 2017December 23, 2019 Supertrooper 3 Comments

“Every day I said ‘I wouldn’t count on him being there tomorrow!’ But it’s been six weeks and he’s still adapting,” said David Hancock, an eagle biologist who started the Hancock Wildlife Foundation.

Bald Eagle Adopts Baby Hawk Instead of Eating Him

June 26, 2017February 18, 2021 Supertrooper 3 Comments

In the wild, bald eagles and red-tailed hawks are natural-born enemies, frequently fighting each other to the death – with larger bald eagles typically winning those bloody battles.
