Park Event Was Too Crowded

Yesterday the local park had many events scheduled, including showing Cotton the owl on exhibit with the rangers. The rains poured and it was cancelled. Rescheduled for today. However there were so many people, cars were parked along the highway. Will have to pass and visit another day. I can go and see Cotton the owl any day, with no crowds around. Will miss the events but maybe next time. Lots of sunshine to find a nice place to ride and see the sites. Snapped this photo of Cotton and the park ranger a few years ago.

I love to see photos of Cotton. I have always disliked crowds.

During this pandemic I wouldn't want to be around that many people. I think you made a wise choice waiting to see him another day.

@CarolDM I do feel safer outside but I still don't like to get to close

I don't mind being outside, it is safe. I just don't care for crowds in general.

What a beautiful Owl! I'm sorry you weren't able to attend the event. We had rain on Saturday too.

I don't like festivities with a big crowd. I'd rather go when there's a more private visit.

@CarolDM And Cotton, she's probably quite agitated when so many visitors come at once.

This is a wild owl, the ranger has chains on his feet while out of the cage.
