Birds in Ketchikan - what are they called?

[kasi1979]

Hi everyone,

 

we were on an Alaska Cruise aboard Millenium im Sep 09.

We walked around town in Ketchikan and came across an exhibt from some kind of bird sanctuary with a bald eagle and two other birds.

I took some pictures of the birds and am trying to identify them.

 

Any idea, what the organization might be called, so that I can get the info from them? Or does one of you know?

One was a small grey kind of an owl, the other a brown bird not quite as large as the eagle, but a lot larger than the owl.

 

Any help appreciated.

what's name of the exhibit? We would be interested in going there next year

The other bird is definitely some type of hawk. Without seeing the tail, it's hard to determine which one it is but it could be an immature red tail hawk

Can you tell me where the bird sanctuary is? We will be walking the port after our tour in June and I think my hubby would enjoy this.

 

Thanks Patty

I know of the Alaska Raptor Center, but that is in Sitka.

When we were there they were not near the hatchery. They were in the middle of town, straight in from the cruise terminal and off to the left if facing town about a block in. I got some great shots of the birds as well, they had a bald eagle there along with those 2 in May.
