The new clinic has arrived and it is more than double the size of the old clinic. The inside walls are finished. Next is installation of the vinyl flooring.

Western Screech Owls 26-024 and 26-025 were admitted Saturday morning. The small owls had “branched,” moving out of their nest cavity onto a branch. They ended up on the ground, probably the result of a wind gust. The finder couldn’t see the nest and was concerned that neighborhood cats would get the owlets. Our exam found no major injuries. Once they are eating on their own, we will put them with Western Screech Owl 26-021 and place all three young owls in an artificial nest and let them fledge as they normally would. Food will be provided until they are self sufficient.
