Short Eared Owl Release
Video
Join Animal Care Assistant, Erica as she shares the successful release story of a longer-term patient, a short-eared owl!
The owl arrived in Fall 2021 and was released in Spring 2022.
Spring 2022 this owl was returned to the wild after being struck by a vehicle in August 2021 and suffering two broken legs.
It was a happy moment for Erica, as she spent the entire winter caring for the owl. At times it wasn’t certain the owl would be able to return to the wild, to successfully be able to hunt after substantial injury to both its legs.
