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.

Big Time Branching! 9:17 am, 4-27-13
After days of watching the owlets get closer and closer to the branches at the side of their platform, they were finally standing on the branch that is right against their platform. But last night the first one took the plunge and hopped onto on of the branches! This morning TWO of the owlets were out on the branches, seemingly enjoying their new views of the world. They are officially "branchers" now, and it won't be long until they start trying to fly.
