Wet N Wild Fun

From Ojai Raptor Center

This fledgling Great Horned Owl took was especially attracted to the water spray and took full advantage of our outdoor misters last week-plopping down right underneath them and soaking up every drop like it was their own personal spa.

Owls have incredibly soft feathers that let them fly completely silently-a key adaptation for stealthy nighttime hunting. But all that fluff comes with a trade- off: when they get drenched, they can't fly until they're dry again!

With the heat we've been having, this soggy owl dried off in no time... but not before enjoying every second of their personal cooling station at the Owl Spa!
