Wild weather, no intakes—weird...

Last week’s insane weather, with three tornado warnings in my general area in less than 24 hours, certainly had the potential to result in an intake overload, but the opposite has been true. I’m not complaining, mind you; it’s just kinda strange...

So...several calls throughout the week but no intakes. In one case, the callers were just checking to make sure the brancher great horned they saw in their yard and then on their fence was okay. Given his movement and the fact that he was quiet—hungry young owls let you know—I suggested they wait till dark that night to see if he moved farther into the brush, coaxed by his parents. The callers were delighted to allow him to remain with his parents. When possible, this is always the best option.

The nasty weather did delay moving the juvenile great horned from the mini-pen to the main flight; I felt safer with her in a smaller pen until we had sane weather again. Her move to the main flight will be this week instead.

And the red phase screech continues to glare at me with murder in her eyes as she recovers from the wing fracture...Gotta love a screech!

Another short update—I could get used to this!

Finally, a “housekeeping” note: There will be no update next Sunday, April 17, as this is Easter and I will be spending time with my family.
