It's a Release Double-Header!!

This week, we had double the fun!

Double Header Part I:

The barred owl pictured below came to us on September 21st with a head injury- it may have been hit by a car.  We would like to thank Sam Warner for finding the bird and getting RARE involved!  After treatment and rest at our clinic, it transitioned to our flight cage early in the second week of October. 

This week, Hannah Clark was able to release this beautiful bird. Hannah is a second year veterinary technician student from Burlington.

Double Header Part II:

The barred owl pictured below came to us right at the end of September, after being found by a construction worker at a site in Iowa City. After being evaluated, the owl was treated with medicine and rest. He was able to graduate to the flight cage after about 10 days.  We are excited that we were able to release him back to nature this week!

Bon Voyage!
