Our amazing and talented (or talon-ted!) volunteer Hannah is painting a mural in Jeff the barred owl’s enclosure. The mural shows where barred owls nest: in tree cavities. The tree Hannah is painting is a white oak, which is a species very important to many of our native birds and insects. She’s not quite done yet; we will share it again when the mural is finished. Thank you, Hannah!
