Inquisitive Western Screech Owl

The Western Screech Owl in these pics was one of the birds that the Pueblo Raptor Center brought to the Bird-N-Nature Expo yesterday. As can be seen in the top pic, this little owl (just barely the size of the gloved hand holding it)was watching something behind it. Many of the birds chosen as educational birds appear to be interested in what goes on around them when they are out in public, and some truly appear to enjoy their sojourns. SeEtta
