On the eve of the Project Puffin Bird-a-thon, we had an exciting visitor! A great horned owl was spotted on Pond Island at dusk. These birds can pose a threat to many species of the birds we are trying to protect. Fortunately, our Pond team set a trap that night, and the owl was snared by the next morning. After taking some great pictures, they sent it back to the mainland to a rehabilitation center, where it will be checked out and released shortly.
