It's So Great to Have Norbert Back
I'm at a meeting for some new educational displays that are going up at The Raptor Center.
I love having Norbert back so I can do quick blog entries on the sly...
While looking for some photos of great gray owls for one of the education panels, I came across the Flickr account of Mariah Tigger. It looks like she used to be a vet in the TRC clinic, I recognize the treatment room:
Here is a great gray owl in the TRC treatment room. Notice how big and puffy the head is. You can also see the puffy head of a great gray in my profile shot on the blog.
Now, here is a photo of a great gray owl in the anesthesia cone on its head before it's examined. They really are just giant balls of fluff.

wow that's so cool - i never knew that about owls - makes em look bigger than they are. Very sneaky
The poor owl looks embarrassed!
People are always surprised when I pull out my barred owl skull, to show the size of the eye sockets. Get 'em wet, they are half the size.
Glad Norbert has recuperated.
Poor owl. You can tell by the look in its eyes that it's thinking "Man, ten bucks says this picture ends up on the Internets."
This is one of my favorite photos EVAH!!! GGOW in a CUP!!
