We have a state park nearby and it makes for a great place to walk. Awhile back I found out they also rescue wild animals. Cotton, the resident owl, was found in the snow a few years ago. It was abandoned as a baby. She now lives at the park. She has her own cage and is often take out around to the local schools so others can learn about her. She is a special owl and so glad this ranger rescued her and she is being take care of. It always makes my day to see her.

It’s good to be healed. I’ve never seen owls.
Yes indeed and nature is amazing.
Beautiful Bird-I only saw it in the zoo-but I heard it in the middle forest just didn’t see it
Yes they are very beautiful indeed.
Nice to see her healthy. I sometimes only hear their voices around the house.
Yes it is always good to see her taken care of.
It’s nice to see her out! She looks happy. I saw one on my last hike, it was awesome. I was so awestruck, I never lifted the camera that was on and in my hand..
Yes she does seem content and such a miracle. You probably did the right thing as you know the owl would have flown away if you moved.
True, it was looking right at me. It finally did fly through thick brush, it was amazing to see..Sorry I cant share it. lol
Owl is one of my favorite birds, saw owls two or three times during my resting in the countryside.
Good to see you. Nature has so much to offer.
She could be said to have had a happiness in life.
Yes Robin I have to agree with you.
I have only seen owls in the zoo.
They are amazing up close.
That is great! And Wonderful photo!
Thanks Courtney it was so exciting.
I just live any wildlife (except for snakes). We have our shares of chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, beavers (but not too many of these), “marmottes” (groundhogs I think in English), ducks (who sometimes knock on the back door), foxes, deer and lately bears. And all this wildlife is in Ottawa-Gatineau with a total population of almost 3 millions.
You are very blessed to have such a variety around you.
I have been blessed to be around wildlife all my life. I have a unique perspective because of it. Oddly enough about two days a go a moose was licking my window. There are very big and I felt very small.
We live in a rural country inhabited by wild life. Foxes, possums, boobook owls ( on our porch one evening I have photos of it), probably screeching owls ( as well), blue-tongue lizzards, brown snakes…
This is great to hear, I love wildlife.
A mommy-friend of mine always carry a shovel with her. She has killed several l brown snakes along the paths. Our experience was that they got caught in the netting on the ground.
Not fun but very exciting and wild to know that we live among the wild life. 😀
I frequently visit the zoo near our home but I didn’t have the chance to touch an owl or any of the animals there. I am contented in viewing them. Lovely photos!
Thanks, some like to keep their distance.
Cotton is cute and interesting looking.
She is so cute up close.
