Discovery Trail barred owl makes another appearance


Barred owl on Discovery Trail. 

Ijams visitor Bill Hahnemann emails, "This guy (gal?) is probably a local park celebrity and by it's stoic behavior, accustomed to human traffic along the trail, but I just thought I would let you know it gave me quite a surprise on my walk through the park on Monday afternoon.  What a beautiful creature and what a moment it was to be in its presence.  I love Ijams!"

Although the great blue heron is the icon we use on our logo, perhaps we should consider the barred owl instead. They are so often seen by visitors, it's almost like they're on staff.
