Easter Owl

This regal great horned owl was brought to Philadelphia Metro Wildlife Center the night of Easter Sunday, in shock and in what we call level 5 emaciation (the last stage before organ shut-down). We were not able to determine what caused its condition, but after a detailed physical exam, fluid therapy and some easily digestible calories to get the gut working again it has perked up. We are letting it rest for now in dark & quiet.
