Great Horned Owlet

A young great horned owl was discovered by a hiker dazed at the base of a tree. He appeared to have suffered some head trauma and is currently being treated by our animal care team. Great horned owls regularly fall from their nests once they start moving around the branches next to their nest. They are called branchers at this stage. The good news is that the parents will feed them no matter where they land. As soon as this owlet recovers, we will return him to his family.
