Exciting News! Three magnificent Great Horned Owls have been set free to soar the skies once more!The adult found herself tangled in a soccer net a while back, suffering soft tissue damage to her feet and wings. After extensive physical therapy and care, she was ready to be fly free again.

Joining her on thisfreedom journey are two spirited juveniles who came inas orphans this spring and were raised by our two outstanding Great Horned foster dads!

As these owls spread their wings and venture into the wild, it’s a testament to the dedication and compassion of our team. Thank you for supporting our mission to rehabilitate and release these incredible creatures.

Post photo is the adult, little guys in the comments.

      I am very glad to hear that! It has been a very tough couple of months for me and a lot of the people I care about too, and posting here everyday has given me something to look forward to as well.

      I finally got a new job that starts literally the day after my current one ends. I’ve been so stressed these just 3 months because I hadn’t even gotten one interview and I had some major home and car repairs I had to pay for. I’m the only income for my house right now, so I had been so nervous.

      Coming here every day to give you guys something we could all smile at really helped, so I’m glad I can give you a bright moment back. I’m wishing you the best of luck with your situation!
