Description

Luna says Happy T~K~W Day! Luna is a leucistic (not albino) screech owl. It's a genetic mutation that prevents melanin pigment formation in the bird's feathers. He was found as a fledgling and taken to a wildlife recover group, where he now lives because in the wild he would probably not ever find a mate and would probably not even survive.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/3200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 52.00 mm, Model: NIKON D7100
