Fallen GHO nestling


A Great horned owl nestling fell out of it\'s nest. The nest just appeared to have come a bit apart. There wasn\'t a very high wind involved. This is the same nest where ghowls killed the Cooper\'s hawks last summer and took over this year. Perhaps the nest is haunted by ghosts of cooper\'s past
In any event the owner of the residence found it on the ground one morning. One of the parent owls was in a tree watching it. The owner called me. When I got there we picked it up, rehydrated it and put in a tree where we hoped the parents would continue to feed it. The nestling was too young to be able to remain in this location so the owner lodged a wicker basket in a shaded location in the tree. I haven\'t heard if this was a success yet.

The image is when we first started the rescue mission prior to putting it in a tree.
