ADOPT A BARN OWL
Vermont Institute of Natural Science
The barn owls' main characteristic is the heart-shaped facial disc, formed by stiff feathers which serve to amplify and locate the source of sounds when hunting. It's hard not to fall in love at first sight for these owls with superpowers.
The Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) is a nonprofit, member-supported, environmental education, research and avian rehabilitation organization headquartered at the VINS Nature Center in Quechee, Vermont. We are a proud supporter of the care of VIN's Barn Owl, Aurora, through the RISE Adopt a Raptor Program. Together, we can protect our natural heritage through education, research and avian wildlife rehabilitation. The planet and I will owlways love you for it.
Have a hoot of a day,
