On Sunday, Pat Speers responded to a call on an injured Long-earred Owl near Tulelake. His wing had a dry, compound fracture, so release was not going to be possible. We opted for amputation and adding him to our educational Animal Ambassadors, but unfortunately, despite the best medical care around, he did not survive the surgery. Sure was a cute little guy! Thank you to Thomas Chamberlin for not only reporting him to us, but to driving from Tulelake to Klamath Falls to find our number and contact us, then, driving all the way back to Tulelake to help Pat find him! We don’t always have success, but we’ll always keep trying! Here’s the link to the finder’s blog – great photos and stories! http://chamimage.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/klamath-day-4-little-wing/
