I have talked about visiting our local owl named Cotton at the local state park. She was found as a baby in the snow. She was injured so she is now kept and cared for in this area. Visitors are welcome. She is also taken out to visit different groups or schools. I went for a quick visit yesterday. This is a busy weekend, Memorial Day is always busy. So I only got one shot of her and she would not look at me. But it is so cool to see her safe in her new home. Wishing everyone a great day!

Yes, our New Zealand owl is called a “More Pork”, otherwise known as a “Ruru”. We also have other birds of prey.
That is a cool name Pam, I love learning about your world.
She’s cute as always. If she could understand our language, what would you say to her who lived in that cage?
I would ask her if she is being fed enough and if she is happy. If she is not would she want to come home with me!
That’s the Carol I know, always caring about other creatures.
That is exactly what I would say if only I could.
Yes she is a beauty and I love the visits.
She says thank you. 🙂
I bet she recognizes you. Looks like shes enjoying the sunshine. Great shot and good to see her still doing well.
I often wonder about that. She sees so many by the crowds and groups. She seems fine.
But they are so smart! I bet she does! : )
That is a nice thought, thanks Kim.
… I also talk to her so she may recognize my voice. 🙂
Great picture Carol! Someday I will share my owl story, but today I am enjoying yours!
Thanks Doc, she was camera shy today. Waiting on your owl story.
It is a someday story, when I am taking a break from Family history. :0(
I understand, it is all in the timing.
That’s a great photo! We have a lot of owls where I live. I hear them all the time at night. In Templeton we would often see the great horned owl in flight, but never when I had a camera handy.
Thanks. I am sure they are a challenge to capture in the wild on camera.
She could win a contest she is so beautiful.
She is definitely a beauty. Love this owl!
Well, hello Cotton. Don’t you look nice and comfy there. I hope you get your favorite dishes often. See you soon cutie pie. Sorry Carol I just had to talk to Cotton right now. Thank you for introducing her to Virily.
No need to apologize she needs friends! Thanks.
It’s a pretty owl, I saw it only in the zoo
Me too before seeing this one.
She looks kinda bummed out
I was the one bummed out because I couldn’t hold her.
She is beautiful as always. I once petted an owl, it was a wonderful experience. I feel I always mention it whenever I see Cotton, lol.
Isn’t she Ellie? i just love going to see her and so glad she is safe. It is ok, that is an unforgettable experience.
