Grey Horned Owl

I took this photo at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, near the center of the Adirondacks. This natural history museum is surrounded by an 81 acre trail-filled campus and is home to approximately 50 species of live animals. Many of these animals are in their natural habitats, but unfortunately this grey horn owl had an injured wing and was in recovery. This photo displays the dedication and the love for animals of the employees at the Wild Center. The Wild Center features live animal exhibits of river otters, birds, fish and amphibians that I highly recommend seeing
