What better way to spend a weekend in March<br />
in the Midwest than to go to the International<br />
Festival of <strong>Owl</strong>s in Houton, Minnesota! Well,<br />
that’s what we did here at the <strong>Owl</strong> <strong>Eye</strong>. It was<br />
an event that couldn’t have been held anywhere<br />
else thanks to Karla Bloem of the International<br />
<strong>Owl</strong> Center in Houston and all of the 936<br />
people that live there.<br />
We arrived Friday night to Lokan’s Sawmill and<br />
Suites, to our Queen Suite; with full kitchen,<br />
door to the bedroom and small living area. It<br />
was perfect. After a good night’s rest, Saturday<br />
am brought all kinds of owl activities!<br />
I couldn’t wait to say Hello to Hooston! <strong>The</strong><br />
Mascot of the IFO.<br />
First up: 9:30am: <strong>The</strong> Illinois Raptor Center:<br />
Rescue, Research and Technology. Jacques Nuzzo<br />
spoke about how they at the IRC rescue owls<br />
and other birda of prey; his love of tree-climbing<br />
and equipment, and his passion for utilizing<br />
drone technology to help track owls and their<br />
breeding activity. <strong>The</strong>y also brought with them<br />
two Snowy <strong>Owl</strong>s, two Great Grey <strong>Owl</strong>s and<br />
two Eastern Screech <strong>Owl</strong>s.<br />
