Gray, Eastern screech-owl.
He arrived here is 2004 (gray morph). He became blind in his right eye after a collision with a vehicle. He suffers from a detached retina and neurological condition. He leans to his left and has limited depth perception and therefore would not be able to hunt successfully. He often hides within the hollow log on the large shelf. He is best viewed through the entrance door. Screech-owls can be red or gray in the same clutch.
