Great Horned Owl
This is one of the three Montgomery family Great Horned owlets. The family was raised on the Northern Illinois University campus in DeKalb, Illinois in early 2007.

A wise old owl sat upon an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard
Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?
- Edward Hersey Richards, “A Wise Old Owl”
