This handsome granero owl has "glass bone syndrome". Raised por people who didn't provide the appropriate diet for calcium development in his body, he can't fly and has an underdeveloped body.
While working Cal fuego in the Santa Clara Unit, Ryan came across these 4 little guys/girls. The owls were transported safely (in the fuego engine!) to a wildlife refuge in San Jose, Ca. There was no sign of mommy owl.
