This nestling Barn Owl, either fell out or was kicked out of its nest in a palm tree. A very odd nesting site, as they prefer barns and haystacks. It came to us from La Puente and was very dehydrated. It will eat now if force fed the first bite of mouse and then will eat the rest on its own.
The owl will be transferred to the Ojai Raptor Center in a few days because their rehab progresses much better if they are paired with another Barn Owl about the same age. They specialize in raptors, so it will be in very good hands.
