These three adorable screech owls are rehab birds because of trauma to their eyes, which is an important part of their ability to hunt prey like mice, insects and lizards

From the U.S. Department of the Interior:




These three adorable screech owls are rehab birds because of trauma to their eyes, which is an important part of their ability to hunt prey like mice, insects and lizards. The owls -- an Eastern screech owl on the left and two Western screech owls on the right -- were part of Bird Fest 2015 at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a day to celebrate and educate the public about birds. Wings of Discovery, a rehabilitation center nearby the park in Agoura Hills, California, is caring for these owls. Photo by National Park Service.
