TORNADO LEADS TO OWLET RESCUE

“These babies were found by our maintenance crew during tornado cleanup,” Byron Forest Preserve reported last week after an F-4 twister tore through Ogle County, Oregon. “Since so many trees were destroyed, we’re assuming their parents are gone and they haven’t had any nourishment in awhile. Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab will be picking them up today to nurse them back to health.”

A new update by the Byron Forest Preserve reveals that the owlets are doing very well.

“They have eaten lots of mice and are now re-hydrated and getting stronger. We hope that when the owlets are ready for release, we can place them back into the Skare Park area in Rochelle.”

So happy to hear the the little ones are going to be OK and thankful for the clean up team who noticed them and took quick action to save their lives.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
