Jodi Swenson of Gloucester, a state and federally permitted wildlife rehabilitator, was tending to this gray phase eastern screech owl that was struck by a vehicle in Rockport earlier this week. She released it Tuesday afternoon near where it was found after giving it medication and having it checked out by a local vet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This gray phase eastern screech owl is one of many animals and birds that have been tended to by Jodi Swenson of Gloucester<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owl was found struck by a car in Rockport, was ready for release Tuesday night, just days after the Rockport animal officer presented Swenson with the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swenson wrapped the full-grown owl gingerly in a pink fleece blanket the size of a washcloth earlier Tuesday afternoon. She teased his beak open and slipped a syringe of anti-inflammatory medicine into his mouth, emptying it down his throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small bottle of that medicine, which Swenson said \u201clasts forever\u201d on small birds but goes quickly on larger birds like seagulls, costs $40. Veterinarians often chip in giving free exams, but Swenson reluctantly admitted she still pays for medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choices Swenson made to care for ill and injured animals at the beginning of her rescue career may be costly and have put a ding in her credit, but have also allowed her to keep going forward, rescuing countless numbers of birds from humming birds, to gannets, to pigeons, along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201dI had to choose between bills or saving an animal,\u201d Swenson said. \u201cGuess what I chose.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
