      I think I’ve gained a greater appreciation for the small owls today. After handling the baby squirrels that barely have their eyes open and feeling how strong they are, even a tiny full raptor should not be underestimated! 😮

        I would imagine tiny beaks and claws are efficient meat shredding machines, having rescued feral kittens and puppies from weird places like drainage culverts and abandoned residential dwellings/overgrown curtilages!
