This rescued and rehabilitated barred owl, part of the Wildlife Recovery traveling raptor demonstration,  sat for a closeup portrait yesterday at the Porkies Visitor Center. Earlier I misidentified it as a "barn owl," which lipreads the same as "barred owl." What's a deaf guy supposed to do? Check the bird books, of course.
