Does the borrowing owl count for the Anatomist bonus card because it has “wing” in its name?

Nope! Clever though. I think the spelling is "burrowing" (not "borrowing") but that doesn't make any difference as to your question.

No. Because it's from the verb TO BURROW (Present Continuous BURROW + ING).
It is not BURRO + WING.
So it's just a grammar issue.

Apparently, the bonus card is for PARTS OF BODIES that the birds actually have; that's why the HORNed Lark/Great HORNed Own (an issue I personally raised and which I still think it should be taken into consideration for the Anatomist Bonus Card) are also not inclued.

The Bonus Card literally says: Birds with body parts in their names (not BIRDS WITH BODY PARTS OF THEIRS, IN THEIR NAME).

Ever since the update late last year, you can hover your mouse over any of your bonus cards - or even the ones you just drew when you're trying to pick which one to keep - and the game will highlight all the bird cards that count for that bonus card. So if you ever have a question like this during a game, hover your mouse over the bonus card and see the answer.

There are also icons near the top-left of the cards which show which language-dependent scoring cards they count towards. This is more useful if Anatomist is still in the deck but you're trying to plan for the case where you might acquire it later.
