A barred owl with a broken beak takes flight from a branch in Greene, Maine, on Jan. 28, 2022. According to local resident Charity Bates, the owl has been in the area for several weeks and is abnormally active during the day. "We are not sure if it's a he or she, but we've named it Esther," Bates said. "She's quite a local celebrity as people stop every day to take photos and the school bus even slows down so the kids can take a look at her when they drive past." 📸: Russ Dillingham, @sunjournal via @apnews #barredowl #owl #maine
