Fresh Grown Plumicorns

> Say hello to this cotton ball with legs!
>
> This Eastern screech owl chick (patient 26-1685) was brought in after being found alone under a golf cart; we suspect it had fallen from a nest. As the days have gone by, the white down has been replaced by larger, fluffy grey feathers.
>
> We're even starting to see a hint of the characteristic feather tufts - known as plumicorns - on top of the chick's head!
>
> Weighing in at just 55 grams, this tiny patient is now being raised by CROW's team under standard orphan care protocols until it is old enough to return to the wild.
