Newton
Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus). Newton is an imprinted owl who has lived at the ORC since 2012. The beautiful glow in Newtons eyes is caused by the light cast on his nictitating membrane. This transparent third eyelid is found in birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, and is used for protection and to moisten the eye while maintaining vision.
