Just back from witnessing the release of a young barred owl rescue at Ozark Natural Science Center at Lake Fayetteville. What a labor of love. See the article link below. And maybe 100 people there to watch. It was hard not to fall down in the snow in amazement when this magnificent bird took wing. A little tentative at first, a brief flop-down into some brush, but the rally at the end into the trees by the lake looked like it'll all be OK in the end. Best news ever. https://www.nwahomepage.com/northwest-arkansas-news/northsong-wild-bird-rehabilitation-rescues-barred-owl-from-lake-fayetteville/
