Visitor for the Winter

We are still having gorgeous fall days with highs in the 60’s and no frosts to date. We were pleased to welcome guests from Umpqua Wildlife who brought a Great Horned Owl that needed a space to over-winter while she grows back feathers on her right wing.

We don’t know how her feathers were broken, but radiographs showed bone damage to the very tip of her right wing. 

She is now outside in a large flight pen where she can get out of the weather and feel safe. We will have to wait and see if she will be able to grow new feathers.

In the meantime, Tricia and I are enjoying produce from our gardens….
