Hoo me?

Wed, 01/23/2019 - 9:36am

Compass Arts And Entertainment Editor Anne Day spied this barred owl as she drove up her road in Salisbury on Saturday, Jan. 19. The owl sat calmly and waited as Day pulled out a long-lensed camera and took multiple photos. Even though her dog, Lola, was barking fiercely from the back seat, the owl maintained its calm demeanor, and didn’t move even after she got out of the car to get closer.
