This Eastern Screech Owl (23-4998) was discovered in Fort Lauderdale unable to fly. With a confirmed left wing fracture, the wing was placed in a wrap to allow for proper alignment while healing. Severe trauma was also noted in the right eye. With regular bandage changes and physical therapy, this patient’s wing has healed nicely. After over a month in care and several visits with an ophthalmologist, the condition of the owl’s eye continued to degrade. The decision was made to surgically remove

Call of the screech-owl Eastern screech-owls are active at night and are far more often heard than seen. Turn the volume way up and listen closely… then watch the owl’s reaction to another screech owl calling! These owls vocalize frequently, so learning to identify their call is a great way to know when one is near.

Wonky Wilbur is spot on with her flying today though!! 黎黎 | Screech Owl Sanctuary & Animal Park | Facebook
