From Freedom First Wildlife Rehab
Another small, male barred owl arrived today from Brooklyn, CT with an old injury to his wing. This first year owl has been surviving around a water source by eating amphibians and other ground dwelling insects and any other small rodents he came across but as the weather has turned cooler , he has lost significant food sources. He has minimal low flight and is at high risk of predation and starvation. We will be carefully evaluating his potential for independence. Thank you for Sherry Hart from Nutmeg Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation for wading through the muck to rescue this owl! Additional thanks to Nicole Bennett for transporting the owl to us today! It truly takes a team to care for CT wildlife
