Bogart is at Raptor Rehab.
Born blind, he was booted from the nest, but his vision eventually developed, but not before imprinting with people. He is now a very talkative ambassador for the rehab’s education program.

Cool, I guess it saves time on egg development because they won’t need vision much in the nest stage.
The linked page is pretty short but didn’t allow me to copy/paste. There is some neat info on there. Owls are an oddball in they are some of the few birds that are born altricial, but have feathers.
I always wonder what they look like without all the feathers, if their body shape is lean like a hawk.
Oh, do I have a treat for you then!

Also, if you go back a bit on my posts here, I have one of bare owl legs and an owl skeleton with some fun facts.
