This beautiful bird is a two years old Eastern Screech Owl and you are looking to his best side. Unfortunately, he was injured at young age and lost the other eye. This shot was taken at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida, meanwhile held by a special handler. Flamingo Gardens is a non-profit organization receiving injured animals and giving them shelter, medical attention, food, care, and love for life. I am a proud volunteer of this park trying to promote their noble and silent work through my photography.
