"Eyes on Owls" with Alex

I took Alex to see the wonderful "Eyes on Owls" exhibit at the Heritage Plantation.  We had front row seats, and he was thrilled.

Screech-owl, Red Morph

Here is both Red and Grey Morphs of the Screech-owl

Barred Owl

Barn Owl


Great Horned Owl

Most of the birds are permanent residents of the couple who do the presentation;  They were seriously injured, and couldn't be released back to the wild.  This Great Horned is missing its left eye.


And the largest of the Owls in the exhibit, the Eagle Owl. Only the Great Grey is larger.

And lastly, a Spectacled Owl, from South America


And on to the car exhibit, and the Model A the kids can sit in.
