Blue Mountain Wildlife ended 2024 with 434 admissions that included 69 species of birds, mammals and reptiles. With your support we were able to asses their conditions, provide them with appropriate care and release 161 animals. We couldn’t have done it with out you. Thank you!

There were three admissions the first week of 2025: a Barn Owl, a Red-tailed Hawk and a Great Horned Owl. Three of the most common raptor species that we see. All had injuries that could not be repaired.

Barn Owl 25-001 had a humerus fracture.

The right shoulder and elbow of Red-tailed Hawk 25-002 were dislocated, injuries that could not be repaired.

Great Horned Owl 25-003 was unable to stand. A physical exam found a large bruise at the base of her neck and no pain response in either foot. The likely cause was a collision with a vehicle. The prognosis for recovery was very poor and the owl was euthanized.
