Stories Related to Friendly Owl Tries To Get Up Close And Personal In Old Town

Betsy and Marty Clark have seen several owls over the years on their 20-acre property in Old Town. Last spring, they were visited by a friendly barred owl that, rather than keep its distance, instead appeared intent on making closer contact. This owl first appeared in a tree, where it was spotted through a window by Marty Clark, the longtime teacher who is familiar to Maine sports fans as the former boys basketball coach at Old Town High School. This owl appeared to be waiting for an invitation into the home of Marty and Betsy Clark of Old Town last spring.
