I made a new friend on Saturday at Panther Creek State Park. His name is Theodore Roosevelt, but he goes by Teddy. No Teddy isn't the 26th President, he is the park's resident Barred Owl. He came to Panther Creek in February after being injured on I-40 near Crossville (see photo for his story). Because of his injuries (he is blind in one eye), he will live out his days at the aviary next to the park's visitor center and will be involved with educational programs across the region. He even has toys in the visitor center. So, if you are at Panther Creek State Park say hi to Teddy.
