Max Hentz of 836 S. Main St. feeds "Oscar," his pet Great Horned Owl. His dog, "Flak," who gets along nicely with the owl is an interested spectator. The bird's right wing hands crookedly because it was broken and did not heal properly. Hentz took the owl from its nest with it was a few days old and has had it for a year.

A Wise (?) Owl Owls are mysterious creatures of the deep woods, right? Then what was one doing perched in a tree yesterday on the Elizabeth Dean Plaza in front of the Ann Arbor Bank? Only the owl knows for sure, and he wasn't talking--only sleeping. A bird-watcher identified it as a Saw-Whet Owl, an absurdly tame little owl uncommon around Ann Arbor and probably passing through on migration.

BIRD IN THE BATH: About equally surprised are Joey Burge, 7 (left), his brother, Jimmy, 6, and an owl who greeted them in the bathroom of their home at 2112 Vinewood Blvd. yesterday morning. Another owl turned up in the living room later in the day. The boys' parents, Dr. and Mrs. Joe Burge, believe the owls entered by way of the chimney and fireplace.

This baby owl should be quite a wise old owl when it grows up, if going to school means anything to the bird family. It was found about two weeks ago on an Albion farm, apparently having fallen out of a tree. Brought to Ann Arbor by Mrs. Donald Abbott (left) of 939 Greenwood, it now is caged in Mrs. Abbott's room of fourth and fifth graders in Northside School. Joan E. Dolfin of 1507 Ottawa and James A. Grob of 1803 Upland are shown helping Waldo (nicknamed Wally by the students) with his studies. It is a great horned owl, about eight weeks old, and is fed raw beef kidney and pork liver.
