 A New Year is here and we are already behind. No holiday break as the injured continue to arrive. The Red Tailed Hawks, Barred Owls, and Screech Owls are hunting along the highways and getting hit.
Thanks to Dr. Duke for procuring a microscope for us. It will be extremely helpful and save us a few trips to the Veterinarians office.
A beautiful Great Horned Owl arrived here from Laurens Wildlife Rescue. Imprinted by selfish humans. Vonda Morton did a great job recovering this GHO as it ran along the ground instead of taking flight. She did a thorough exam and followed it up with a visit to her Vets. The GHO was transfered to us for evaluation and flight conditioning. The future is bleak as imprinted GHOs usually have to be euthanised.
The wild owls should be nesting. Freezing cold & windy but they are sitting on eggs. 
We have been getting calls about hawks getting people's chickens. Folks chicken are a prey species. Free ranging chickens are a good idea in Norman Rockwell pictures. In real life they are ideal prey for coyotes, foxes, racoons, weasels, and bobcats. This time of year food for the wild critters is at a premium as they all try to survive this cold winter. You might consider a structure called a Chicken coup to keep Foghorn Leghorn and the girls safe. 
More to come.....
