Museo ornitologico di Chiaramonte Gulfi

Among the pieces to admire immediately, at the beginning of the visit, stands out the Imperial Crow with other Common Crows, together with the Jay and the Magpie. Then there are the Owlets, then the Barn Owl, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, mixed with the Tawny Owl and the Marsh Owl. Until the evocative Snowy Owl appears to us. Many species of Buzzards are displayed (from the Common Buzzard to the Booted Buzzard), the species of Falcons (among which the Peregrine Falcon and the Honey Buzzard, also known because it feeds on Bees and Wasps after skillfully removing the sting), the young Sparrowhawk, then the Kites with the Red Kite in the foreground. Of notable appeal are the sections dedicated to Eagles, Vultures, and Griffons: majestic and “imperial” are the individual specimens of these birds of prey. Pelicans and Cormorants follow, up to the Partridges, Bustards, Pheasants, and the beautiful bodies of Gulls, among which the Yellow-legged Gull.
