Great Horned Owl #18-2952 update

On November 15, the Wildlife Center lost power and suffered damage to fences and outbuildings during a severe ice storm. Patients and education animals that were housed outdoors were quickly evacuated and moved into crates indoors.
(See a video tour of damage to the Center’s property.)

Because of the power outage, some patients were transferred over the weekend to other rehabilitators or wildlife hospitals in the area.

On November 18, Great Horned Owl #18-2952 was transferred to another wildlife rehabilitation center; a veterinarian from that center was presenting at the Call of the Wild conference and was able to bring the owl back with her. That hospital will continue the owl’s pre-release conditioning and release the owl when appropriate.
