Alberta Birds of Prey Centre - Burrowing Owl Exhibit (superb!)

July 29th, 2016.
Looks excellent. Is it a single enclosure or are there partitions that I'm missing? Do you happen to remember roughly how many were displayed here?

It is one enormous enclosure, or at least "enormous" for a Burrowing Owl! :) I asked a volunteer, who kindly let my 3 year-old son hold a Burrowing Owl on his gloved hand, and I was told that there were 4 owls in the exhibit. There are no partitions and the owls all share the same large space, although the facility has a long row of individual Burrowing Owls in a separate area of the park that is used for breeding purposes. The photo below shows 7 compartments for the owls:
