First baby owl of 2015

Dear Friends,
Here are pictures web pic owl of our latest rescue and our first baby of the year.
Even though I?m so little and Mr. Martin Tyner who rescued and is caring for me did not have the opportunity to see my parents or my nest, he is quite certain that I am a great horned owl.
In as little as nine weeks I will be full grown and flying, but until then I will be eating lots and lots of mice. Mice are my favorite food and when I get bigger and I?m really hungry I can eat as many as 12 mice a day.web pic owl 2
Enjoy this short video of me having breakfast my second morning at the SWF. The little white spot on the tip of my beak is called an egg-tooth which I used to peck my way out of my egg when hatching.

The next video is only 2 days after the first video. I am about 4 or 5 days old now. I don?t know if you can tell how fast I grow but I feel like I double in size every day.

The first photo is me on the first day I came to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation. Of course I had been warmed and given several meals before I had my picture taken. At first I got fed every two hours, but now I can eat bigger meals so I can go three hours between meals. For some reason at 2:00 in the morning Mr. Tyner sure looks tired.?? web pic owl 3
