Before heading out to hunt for the night, a barn owl peers out from a cavity where it is nesting in the MedTech College building in the Coldstream Research Campus in Lexington, Ky, on 5/26/10. Construction workers who were making finishes to the exterior of the building discovered the pair of owls and their four babies. Work has been halted until the babies fledge and after they leave the nest a permanent nesting box will be installed. According to Heyden, this nesting pair is one of only 11 known in the state currently. Photos by David Stephenson
