What a difference a month makes!
This Great Horned Owl was found emaciated and dehydrated with a swollen and cloudy eye full of puss. We don’t know what cause the infection, but he was clearly struggling because of it.
But look at him now! The eye is much better and continues to improve every day – we are hopefully that he will heal completely and be able to fly free again soon.
As you can see from the photos, Great Horned Owls don’t actually have horns. Those tufts of feathers are not ears, either – but they may contribute to the owl’s hearing by acting as sound reflectors.
