@aefeagles: Most raptors molt a few feathers at a time but Screech owls go through what is known as a catastrophic molt. This means that they basically shed their entire head all at one time! molting is a process of shedding feathers that are worn or damaged and most birds shed a few at a time so they do not lose their flight ability. Screech Owl molt thankfully does not affect their flight, just their looks! #screechowl #molting #aef #aefeagles #americaneaglefoundation #conserve #educate #protect #birdofprey #owls #raptors #jet2 #jet2holidays #jet2holiday
