Wow, has it been a busy month! Lots of baby screech owls have been admitted to Florida Wildlife Hospital and needed my help. My first batch of baby screech owls have graduated to an outside cage and are doing well. I'm still currently watching over 15 screech owls that range from white & fuzzy to almost ready for flight training.
The otters are also in an outside cage, and I hear they spend most of their time in the pool. There are also 3 red-shouldered hawks and 2 American kestrels in our outdoor flight cages. Here is a photo of the kestrels before they were moved to the flight cage.
We had 4 small fawns, but they have been transferred to another wildlife rehabilitation facility so we can start construction on our new 100-foot flight cage! That sounds awfully big to me, but I know the eagles, ospreys, hawks and larger owls will really benefit from additional space for flight practice before they are released. It's very exciting to have this project, which has been in the planning stages for several years, finally starting.
