On Sunday Bob Kingsbury called to report an injured Snowy Owl at the Wastewater. Sue Stamy from the Braveheart Raptor Rehabilitation Center in Twin Lake got the bird, washed a bunch of gunk from it, and reported on Wednesday that the owl was recovering nicely at the center. Carol Cooper confirmed at the MCNC meeting last night that the recovery is going well.
Yesterday Bob sent an email with the photos above. He thought I had contacted Sue, but someone else did. We will give Sue contact information for Bob in case she wants to take him up on the Whitefish Point offer. - Ric
Hi Ric
I am attaching some of my pictures of the injured Snowy Owl. You can see that the wings and tail look dirty and the edges of the feathers are not fringed nicely, but rather appear clumped together like frayed rope. It also looks like the wings are not raising up together. One is always lower than the other.
I am very grateful for your help and for the help of the rehabbers. I would volunteer to drive it up to Whitefish Point for its release if that would help. : )
Bob
