Alice the Great Horned Owl is a permanently injured owl who works at the Houston Nature Center in Houston, MN and lives with her handler, Karla (Kinstler) Bloem. This blog is a mishmash of stories about how Alice applies her owl instincts to a life with humans, information about the International Festival of Owls held in honor of Alice's hatch-day, a vocal study on Great Horned Owls that began because of Alice, and just about anything else that pertains to owls.
