Abby Dugle of Sebastopol, Calif., holds Marvin, a Eurasian eagle owl, during a Raptor Experience at the Jefferson County Fair on Friday. Dugle paid $50 for the experience of holding the raptor that is used as a stand-in for great horned owls due to their resemblance.

Dugle described the experience as “wonderful and exciting.” The Raptor Experience will be showing other raptors today and Sunday during the fair.
