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.

#2 Makes it onto the platform first!
#1 has been eyeing the platform by the nest for quite a while now, and has been unable to make it all the way up there. Well #2 must have eating some Mexican jumping beans and got up there first!
You'll see that first she pounces on her sister, who seemed to be sound asleep. (Nice way to wake up!) Then she pounces on the platform and just barely makes it. Once she gets up there, she seems a little confused about how to operate those big feet. Once Iris is back in the nest, #2 jumps back in after her very short excursion.
