IRON MOUNTAIN In 30-plus years as a wildlife rehabilitator, Phyllis Carlson has had only three snowy owls.
One was in such rough shape it died before she got it to her Quinnesec home. Another, a male, was so emaciated she set it up in her office rather than one of the outdoor cages. It would watch her, curious, as she worked. Snowy owls usually have little past interaction with humans some young birds may never have seen a person on their nesting grounds in the arctic so often show little fear.
