This is a captive owl displayed at Francis Viewing Point. According to Ray Cromie, this owl was hit by a car and is blind in one eye, so it cannot survive on its own.

I'm not a fan of photographing captive birds because it's not challenging enough in terms of photography. However, it was a great opportunity to expose the indented dark eyes with better detail, which is not easy with wild Barred Owls. It was also a great honor to listen to Ray Cromie's presentation.
