GREAT HORNED OWL - Rescued across from the Bishop golf course by  Bart Godett, Civil Engineer, Caltrans

GREAT HORNED OWL
Rescued across from the Bishop golf course by Bart Godett, Civil Engineer, Caltrans

In July, on the way to work in Bishop I saw an injured owl on the side of the road being dive bombed by a king bird. I stopped, snuck up and captured it with a towel. It was obvious it hit a car and one eye looked burst, and the beak had blood coming out one side. It acted like it had one tough night and a heck of a headache. I dropped it off at Eastern Sierra Wildlife Center for treatment and now it is healthy and improving. The bad eye is being flushed 5 times a day.

Mature Female Golden Eagle

In August this 14 lb golden eagle was rescued by ESWC from Benton Crossing Road after being hit by a small truck, she smashed the windshield shattering it. She’s about 6 years old. It takes four people to handle her for examinations. She had no fractures. She did have lacerations and abrasions on and under her left wing. She’s on antibiotics and pain medication. Her wounds are healing well. ESWC is monitoring her movements for damage to tendons, ligaments or nerves: at present she still has limited use of her left wing. ESWC currently doesn’t have the required 100 foot long enclosure flight for her rehab, so she may be transferred for full flight conditioning.
