These barn owls used to live in the Smithsonian Institution Building, aka the Castle, in the 1970s. Our Secretary at the time, S. Dillon Ripley, was an ornithologist and he thought they could hunt the rats attracted to the newly placed garbage cans on the National Mall. He named them Increase and Diffusion (a nod to the Smithsonian’s mission of “the increase and diffusion of knowledge”) and they lived in the west tower of the building. But apparently castle life was not for them--after hatching and raising their first owlet family, they departed and never returned. #OwlAwarenessDay
