There is a barred owl in the old Arctic fox enclosure. The trio of mesh exhibits in that area have these animals: one barred owl; one magpie/two porcupines; 3 snowy owls (1.1.1).
Thanks, I recall when I visited this exhibit over a decade ago, those exhibits had fishers, porcupines, and either magpies or ravens I don't quite recall. Of course the fisher wasn't visible, so that species remains on my list of "Animals yet to see".
The original inhabitants of this exhibit were Rocky Mountain goats (which has been the case since the inception of this basalt outcropping) but also hoary marmots were in the habitat before they were phased out and eventually replaced by Arctic foxes.
