This nestling great horned owl was brought to our Center from Saugus. It apparently had fallen out of the nest. Great horned owls show a marked preference for nesting in the crowns of large pine trees, sometimes taking over abandoned nests that were built by crows, squirrels, or hawks. Since the owls do little or nothing to improve the nests, it's quite common for the nest to disintegrate, especially as the young put on weight and begin to move around. He appears to be about one month old and is eating very well, which will speed his recuperation time and ready him for his eventual return to the wilds of Saugus. Stay tuned for a future release date!
