Rocky the mottled owl

This little blob in the branches is Rocky, a mottled owl found in the Punta Gorda area after being unintentionally hit by a rock. He has had a long road to recovery with a damaged eye and head injuries, but is finally alert, flying and landing well and, most importantly, hunting and killing his own prey. If he keeps up the regular feeding for the next few days, we should be able to release him quite successfully.
