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.

An Owlet Attempts to Eat A Small Mouse, Approx. 12:15pm 3-26-13
It took the owlet about 5 minutes, and he pulled it out and started over at least a couple of times. Iris finally tore the adult field mouse up and fed it to the owlets. But this owlet definitely deserves an "E" for effort!
