Bobby the Owl at Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary

Bobby

Birds | Bubo virginianus | Great Horned Owl

Arrived 2004 | Estimated Born 2002

Bobby is the oldest bird at the sanctuary. Brought to YWS by a rehabilitation facility, Bobby had been caught in a barbed-wire fence, and the resulting wing and muscle damage makes it impossible for her to fly. She enjoys sitting under a heat lamp and watching keepers feed nearby YWS residents.
