Hi Deborah, it's so cool to meet a fellow owl fan! Aren't they engaging? This one is "Digger". He was blind but you wouldn't guess that by his clear and penetrating gaze. He was a "goodwill ambassador" at the Santa Clara Wildlife Rescue center in San Jose, CA. Because of his blindness he accepted people as "fellow owls" and loved being gently stroked. thank you for your likes!
