Hunter of Crickets

A Saw-Whet Owl has bright yellow eyes, wide open and fixed on camera. Her plumage is brown except for a flourish of white on the forehead and between the eyes. Only her head is visible; the rest of her is wrapped in a mossy teal fabric. The rehabber is behind wearing a navy blue shirt with the circular Think Wild logo in blue and gold, and clinic name in orange. The logo features a deer and raptor in a rocky desert beneath a sunny sky.

Think Wild posted a juvenile Northern Saw-Whet Owl noting she was well-flighted and had started live prey testing. A week later she was self-feeding and hunting crickets, with mouse tests next.
