We would like to Thank everyone for their GivingTuesday donations. The birds and staff really appreciate your support! We could not do what we do without you! The Eastern Screech owl in the video was found covered head to talons in sticky stuff. MRCC staff gave him several baths in olive oil and dawn dish soap to remove whatever he was covered in. He’s now back flying free where he belongs!
