While Victoria is full of flora and fauna of all sorts, this one bird of prey has burrowed its way into our hearts and minds.
This barred owl has been spotted several times hanging out in different places around downtown Victoria, and it’s time we officially gave him a name!
The most recent sighting was by Reddit user FrodoBoguesALOT, who posted a photo of our fine feathered friend in the Broughton Street Parkade.
Earlier this year, he was seen perched atop a U-bicycle near the Bay Centre. Similar barred owl photos from all over Victoria appeared online last year, but we’re not sure if it’s the same bird of prey.

What would you name downtown Victoria’s resident barred owl?
