"Incoming, Miranda the European Eagle Owl. I absolutely love this bird, she is truly one of a kind. From her history to her manners, you will find no other like her. Released into the wild by her owner she managed to survive until it became to hard for her, severely malnourished and suffering with a gut infection I rescued her as I determined she wouldn’t survive much longer in the wild. A few days of high quality food and medication and she was doing really well. Miranda is 20 years old and is a valued member of our demonstration team. A bird that doesn’t need handled, she weighs herself on the scales, flies out into the flying arena and runs behind me on the way back to the aviary. A truly magnificent bird."

In 2023, when Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl, escaped the zoo in NYC, I I sketched his wikipedia photo where he looks like a prototype for Totoro, the forest spirit.

NYT has an article about him today, on the anniversary of his escape, with great photos. But there is also a video in it that is very sad - I did not know that at first, after his escape, he just sat on the sidewalk surrounded by people. He looks terrified there.

PS: Love the scientific name for these species - Bubo bubo.

One-Of-A-Kind Orange Snowy Owl Leaves Scientists Scratching Their Heads

Wildlife photographer Julie Maggert has been taking pictures of snowy owls for years. So when she heard that a strange, orange-colored snowy owl had been spotted flying around Michigan’s Thumb area, she knew she had to see the bird for herself. Maggert drove two hours out to where the owl had been observed. Before long, she spotted her in the middle of a field. She couldn’t believe her eyes — she really was orange...
