Thanks to an alert property owner, a young great horned owl was found out of the nest last weekend. Thanks to Scott Altenhoff, an arborist, it was quickly reunited with sibling and parents.

Artemus, our wonderful male barn owl, died earlier this month of congestive heart failure.  He was 17 years old and had been on heart medications for over six months.  He was a wonderful foster dad despite being separated from his own parents at an early age, was developmentally disabled, and was an amazing educator.  He leaves big shoes to fill and will be missed by many.
