Alphabet Thursday



H is for Hooting

My sister works at a wildlife care and rehabilitation center, so she gets to handle all these beautiful animals, including this particular owl, whose name is Goatcheese. No idea why he was given that name. He is an imprinted owl, which means that he was taken from the wild when he was a baby and raised by humans. He now feels more comfortable with us than with other birds, which is sad, since that means he can't be released back to the wild.
