Barred Torpedowl

A Barred Owl is wrapped in a beige towel in a tube-like fashion, with the camera looking down the barrel, so to speak. A rehabilitator is behind, holding the owl with appropriately thick gloves. Only the owl's face is visible (and largely obscured at that) but a yellow beak and one dark eye emerge from within.

Barred Owl, or Barrel Owl? This Owl Torpedo was originally posted with the caption:

There’s something about an owl in a towel that boosts the serotonin…

Barred Owl 538 is not looking very impressed with their checks. Being restrained isn’t fun, but needs must.
