Inspiring Resilience: Wildlife Rescue Center Discovers Blind Owl with Eyes Resembling Glowing Galaxies

The Wildlife Learning Center provides outreach and onsite education in wildlife biology. Their outreach program is the largest in Los Angeles with classes taught by our friendly and enthusiastic biologists.

The Center is located in Sylmar, CA nestled in an old olive grove where more than 70 different species of rescued and zoo-born wild animals call this shady, natural environment home.

Screech owls are restricted to the Americas. Some species formerly placed with them are nowadays considered more distinct (see below for details). The common name “screech owl” is sometimes used for the not closely related barn owl as well.
