Tri-County Wildlife Rescues Baby Great Horned Owl
Tri-County Wildlife Care has just received its
first baby raptor for 2007. This 2-3 week old Great Horned Owl
came in covered by a t-shirt in a large, makeshift plastic blue bowl nest after
it apparently fell from its nest several times. This baby has talons the size of fingers and
claws that are one inch long. It is able to rotate its head,
clacking its beak loudly in protest at being examined for an eye and leg
injury. When fully grown, this bird will stand 22” tall and
eat about 10 mice a night. With
its poor sense of smell, it is one of the very few predators who will eat
skunks. The goal of Tri County Wildlife
Care is to rescue, rehabilitate & release local wildlife like this owl. The organization can be
reached at (209) 547-3233 and reached by mail at P.O. Box 367, Jackson, CA
95642.
