Burrowing Owl Found on Symphony of the Seas
Symphony of the Seas recently had a surprise guest, as a burrowing owl was spotted hanging out on board. The bird was found during a two week sailing on the ship in January.
A Florida Fish and Wildlife biologist boarded Symphony after guests debarked in Port Canaveral to safely capture the owl. It was evaluated and rehabilitated at the South Florida Wildlife Center after being found to be underweight but otherwise healthy.
Owls must enjoy Oasis class ships, because a burrowing owl was also found aboard Oasis of the Seas back in 2010.
