Snowy Owl and a Kookaburra

Snowy Owl

Kookaburra

The World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park, Missouri  is home to 2 Snowy Owls and a Kookaburra, plus many other large birds who were injured or sick and can no longer live in the wild.   The female snowy owl is white and black, while the male is mostly white and  they  live as far north as the arctic.   The Kookaburra is an Australia bird in the kingfisher family  and is known for its “fiendishly laughter”- sounding call.  A recent visit to the  ever-expanding  Sanctuary was most enjoyable!
