Looks like Allegheny has a new contender for a mascot...a Great Horned Owl has (temporarily?) made its home in the trees around Carnegie, Shultz, and Bentley halls. Cindy has taken some cool pictures of the owl and has named him Bentley. She's also taken a scary video of the crows trying to scare him away.
To read more about Great Horned Owls, for more pictures of Bentley, and for the scary video, please continue reading...
UPDATE!
After Cindy found Bentley on the ground last week, Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation Center came and took the owl to their center. Unfortunately, Bentley had suffered a concussion and did not make a recovery. However, the Tamarack people informed Cindy that Bentley was an old, female owl and her passing was made peaceful in their center.
