These 5 Barn Owls were in a hay stack that was being moved. One has a broken leg that is splinted. The other 4 are banded (and color coded so we can easily tell them apart). We are requesting permission to send the banded owls to the Washington center to be hacked with the 50 Barn Owls already there. 

We don’t often get Great Horned Owls from haystacks, but that’s where these two little guys came from. They seem to be in good health.

The two Great Horned Owlets below came from different nests, but they will soon become best friends. We are fortunate to have a great location to hack/raise young Great Horned Owls just a few miles from the Pendleton center. 

Young Visitors Visitors from La Grande

These middle school students from La Grande already new a lot about raptors and asked lots of good questions. It was great fun having them come or a visit.
