The one I saw was in an ed center. It was a new arrival and was semi-private as it got acclimated, but it was up close to the roof of the aviary so the tarp covering the front didn’t block it from view.

I was very jealous a few weeks back when my wife got to spot one of the Great Horns that live around our neighborhood. Yes, I get to see them up close regularly, but even when I get to hold owls, they’re still patients, not spotting them randomly, which still seems cooler.

I saw a barn owl in my yard as a kid, but that was the only real wild sighting I’ve had I think.
