Unconventional

From Ali Xaidi

Hurricane Milton has created quite a predicament for the great horned and barred owls of Florida, forcing one of them to consider nesting in a stadium tower - a choice that seems a bit unconventional but necessary for their survival. While I would have preferred a more traditional nest for them, I am hopeful that they will overcome this challenge as they have in the past. Wishing these resilient RAPTORS all the best, especially after their previous nesting attempt failed due to a poor location choice.
