“Eden Ravecca’s attention was stolen by a pair of striking yellow eyes nestled in a rock cave. They belonged to a perfectly camouflaged great-horned owl. She quickly pulled out her Nikon D5200 and snapped a shot of this magnificent predator she’d learned about. Eden’s love for nature began at a young age and she loves having a camera by her side when she’s out in nature to document what she sees from behind the lens.
“I’ve always been interested in nature, wildlife, plants, rocks, and anything outside,” Eden said.
She has the unique opportunity of being a part of the only master’s of raptor biology program in the world. This opportunity (only found at Boise State University) allowed her to continue exploring her passion for studying birds of prey. I talked with Eden in honor of National Nature Photography Day on June 15. She takes fantastic photos of birds of prey that should be shared along with her story of working with these birds.”
