During the broadcast, the conversation turned to birds in the area. It was mentioned that an injured Great Horned Owl would soon live at the Discovery Center at Murfree Spring (Broad St. at Maney Avenue).
Extension Agent Michael Shirley had an unusual encounter with a Great Horned Owl (left photo). He says that it flew inside one of his homing pigeon lofts. Fortunately, Shirley was able to get it out before it devoured too many of his pigeons.
