In an undated photo provided by the Northwest Raptor and Wildlife Center, six of nine orphaned barn owl owlets that were raised with the help of a couple of surrogate mother barn owls is seen at the center in Sequim, Wash. The nine owlets have flown the nest at the Northwest Raptor and Wildlife Center in Sequim. The birds were freed in late August in a &quot;soft release&quot; in which they were allowed to come and go as they pleased. The center says two wild barn owls started calling in the night and all the owlsanswered the &quot;call of the wild.&quot; Photo: AP
