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.

Good footage Karla. At one point it almost looks like the baby is in process of casting a pellet. Second egg is also clearly hatching. Go Iris!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the heartwarming video. It is so good for Rusty and Iris that these babies hatched this year. It should be a fun time watching these little owlets as they grow.
