Great Horned Owlets 2017 update

Great Horned Owlets #17-0363, #17-0885, and #17-1135 are doing well; they are flying and eating consistently on their own.

On June 21, the rehabilitation moved Papa G'Ho and his three owlet charges to a larger enclosure [A2], giving the growing family more room and space for the young birds to practice flying. The family will likely remain together in this enclosure until the owlets are separated for individual live-prey testing in preparation for a fall release.
