A starving, young Western Screech Owl was the first admission of the week. The young owl was 50% underweight and we were unable to save it. Next was Great Horned Owl 26-019 who was struck by a vehicle. The damage could not be repaired and the owl was euthanized. 

The third admission of the week was Cooper’s Hawk 26-020 who died soon after admission. The hawk appeared to have been involved in a collision, perhaps with a window or car. We are not sure.

And finally, young Western Screech Owl 26-021 who was favoring its left leg. An x-ray showed increased density in the left hip. We are hoping the injury will heal with cage rest and tincture of time. The little guy has an excellent appetite, eating two or three mice each day!
