Sirin is a male grey phase Eastern Screech Owl. Like Great Horned Owls, they have ear tufts and golden eyes. Sirin was admitted on May 6, 2018 from Martinville, OH as a hatch-year bird. He was found in a flower bed next to a house. Unfortunately Sirin could not be released because he has cataracts in both eyes, no vision in his right eye, and diminished vision in his left eye. Even with this disability, he is able to navigate his enclosure with surprising skill.
