Thank you, Maria dB.

Thank you, Sarahaw1981, for you help.

:) The bird is part of the Beacon Hill Park's farm, along with the peacocks etc.

Thank you, for the help, Stian Waaler and NatralList.

Thank you, C. Sydes and Telse. My patience really paid off, since they don't always put their plumage on display.

Thank you, C. Sydes, for the help with the name.

Thank you, Maria dB :)

Upon further checking, it is likely a sub-specie of the Great Horned Owl known as Northern/Subarctic Great Horned Owl, Bubo virginianus subarcticus, according to wikipedia's page.

Whoops. Thank you for the correction, NatraList.

Haha, I have no idea. There's a couple other animals at the zoo, which are found in and around B.C though. Sort of odd additions, considering what they could bring in.
