  • Spring Is Nesting Time Native Fish Exhibit
    spring is nesting time chorus frogs Next time you visit the Ogden Nature Center, stop by to see the home improvements our Red-tailed Hawk Sampson has been making inside his enclosure. Each spring Sampson takes the twigs and branches that Ogden Nature Center staff leave for him and weaves them into a nest atop the platform in the upper corner of his mew. Like many raptors – birds that hunt with their feet – Red-tailed Hawks mate for life and both the male and female work on building the nest. Throughout the spring, Sampson will take food up into his nest. Sampson is an imprinted bird, meaning he has lived with humans for almost his entire life. He doesn’t know how wild hawks are supposed to act. When springtime brings forth his urge to find a mate, he lands on the heads of human females – and it appears as though this feathered gentleman prefers blondes! The women who volunteer as feeders wear hats to protect themselves from Sampson’s photo by Brandi Bosworth springtime advances. Although Sampson can fly and hunt, he cannot be released because of his imprinted behavior, thus he serves as an animal ambassador at the Ogden Nature Center, teaching our community about native birds of prey. photo by Jack Rensel by Susan Snyder, ONC teacher/naturalist Nature’snewsletter of the Ogden Nature Center •Log spring 2010 nature center notes, page 2 green tips for spring, page 3 native fish exhibit community programs, pages 4, 5, 6 volunteers, page 7 Thanks to a team of students from Weber State University, the fly with the flock fun run registration,page 8 Ogden Nature Center will soon be home to an incredible, eight-foot 2010 annual report and friends list, page 9-15 long, 265 gallon aquarium exhibiting Utah native fish.
