Great Horned Owl, Habitat Massachusetts Audubon Sanctary - Belmont, MA - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

In Belmont, within the Habitat Massachusetts Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary, there is a life-sized metal sculpture of a Great Horned Owl.

The sculpture has a lot of detail. The owl looks like it just swooped in for the kill, with wings spread and talons drawn. The eyes, beak, and talons are in brass. Individual feathers are shaped like hemlock branches.

There is a plaque below that has the following:

"Presented to
