Meet our New Screech Owls
We are the proud new guardians of two eastern screech owls that were rescued by a local wildlife rehabilitator after being hit by cars. One is blind in one eye and the other has permanent wing damage as a result of the collisions, so they are not capable of surviving in the wild. They will be well taken care of at Great Hollow while being used in our education programs as ambassadors for their species and messengers of the human impacts to wildlife. Weighing less than half a pound and standing only 6 inches tall, screech owls are among the most adorable birds of prey. They are now on display alongside our resident barred owls and red-tailed hawks, so come check them out any time!
