Adult Osprey 25-096 with a compound humerus fracture was found along Highway 395 north of Hermiston. The bird’s left shoulder and elbow were dislocated. She was either struck by a vehicle or hit a power line. There was too much damage to be repaired and the bird was euthanized.

Four more  young barn owls were admitted from hay stacks that were being moved bringing the Barn Owl total to 27. They are eating 150 mice per day. That number will surpass 200 by Friday as the owlets grow. Last year 43 baby Barn Owls were admitted in May, all from hay stacks that were moved. I expect the 5,000 mice BMW purchased in March will be gone by the end of May so I will be placing another order this week. If you would like to help feed the baby owls, any amount is appreciated. Thank You!!!

Nineteen owls are in cages. Five owls and four owls are pictured below, respectively.

There are 8 owls in two incubators.

Its hard to imagine they will look like this in a few weeks…
