Local zoo. Picture was taken from as close as you see here. No zoom.

The owl didn't like that I was so close. It hissed. So I took a couple pictures and left it alone.

Great image! Was this a captive specimen, or was it in the wild?


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Captive.

There's a small, free zoo called Daucet Trails in Georgia that takes in permanently injured animals who can no longer survive the wild.

There were three owls in this cage.


Thank you. bw!

Sounds like a nice zoo! A good alternative to the big, crowded commercialized ones, at least.
