The Week In Review
Days are still filled with baby bird feedings from 7 am to 9 pm:
4 House Finches
2 Brewers Blackbirds
There are also 2 Scrub Jays and 3 American Crows. Most are beginning to self-feed. Two Robins are are outside in the Songbird Pen. Two more are inside and self-feeding. They will soon go outside.
Short-eared Owl 23-143
This fledgling Short-eared Owl was found near Boardman, Oregon. He had an injured left eye and was very thin. Dr.Yackley at Pendleton Veterinary Clinic examined the eye and determined that the owl should have at least partial vision in the eye. The eye has healed and the owl has gained a significant amount of weight. The next challenge is to reunite him with his family which could not be located when the owl was found.
Great Horned Owl Update
The 4 owls at the hack site are flying, but still coming back at night for food.
