The level of acclimation to human presence displayed by this bird is beyond further influence, so your indiscretion toward this individual remains inconsequential but your show of concern is admirable. This owl is definitely part ham.

Sure it does take a bit more patience than some other parks, but that hopeful energy is always there...that potential that something wild and crazy can happen any second. I love DV...thanks for sharing.Thanks Elias. I know your love for Downsview - it was you who encouraged me to eBird back in 2013 or 2014. Today the park boasts 218 different species of birds sighted there.
