Birds of Prey:
Ruby, The Eastern Screech Owl
Ruby has an interesting story. Like many other Raptors, she was hit by a car when looking for food near the road.
Litter from humans becomes food for mice and other small rodents that raptors eat. Ruby, being hungry, saw the trash near the road as a possible food opportunity.
As a result of her accident, Ruby lost sight in her left eye, deeming her
non-releasable.
Jack, The Barred Owl
Captain Jack is a 2 year old Barred Owl. Like Ruby, Jack was hit by a car as he was hunting for food one night. As a result, Jack's right eye deflated, losing his vision in that eye.
