Owl on Playground

Owl

On September 22, 2016 an owl was trapped under the playground shelter. It finally was able to free itself and being exhausted rested on the chain link fence. One of our 4th grade teachers, Ms. J. Williams, was able to get this snapshot of the bird. Many of the kids enjoyed this vision until it was gone. 

Since we are near the Kenilworth park, with all its big trees and spaces we have been able to see some great birds. In the past we have seen Bald Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks and other birds of prey and many flocks of song birds.

I am thinking that this owl is a Great Horned Owl. Here is a link to find out more about this bird: http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/great-horned-owl
