Baby Great Horned Owl!

A baby great horned owl was moved from the grates in front of Newell Field House and into a nearby tree. This bird has just fledged from the nest, as it's too big to stay there, and can now start learning to fly. The owl's parents leave it hidden during the day and then return at night to feed the owl!
