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 Bloem. Rusty and Iris are Great Horned Owls that are both blind in their right eyes and cannot live in the wild. Rusty and Iris are breeding in captivity as part of Karla's vocal study on Great Horned Owls. All together they have led to the creation of an International Owl Center in Houston, MN and an International Festival of Owls.
That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo nice of Iris to give us this good view of them. By the time #3 shows up in a couple of days, she sould be ready to for group portraits, lol. These babies are clearly doing the raspy call right from the start to, unlike the OKC owlets who still don't call very much even at 3 weeks.
