We found the Owl


We found a Great Horned Owl at our local nature center! Sorry -- but you can barely see the owl behind the cage. This owl has been injured and rescued by the center and wouldn't naturally survive in the wild due to this injury. He is known to be one of the fiercest predators in the area. We learned that he has one ear that aims low and one that aims high to check for prey above and below. Also, the 'horns' are not actual horns, but feathers in the shape of horns.
