Barred Owl

13 Feb 2009 225
Not seen in the wild and not even seen at the Zoo this time. Instead, I got the chance to see and photograph (and stroke, awww) this 7-year-old male Barred Owl at a meeting I went to eight days ago. I've never seen a Barred Owl in the wild, but I do enjoy seeing the two at the Calgary Zoo. This owl was injured (damaged eye that he can't see out of), so was never able to be released. He makes a great Ambassador, though : )
