With permission from state officials in Ohio and Pennsylvania, they transferred this petite owl to Tamarack for continued treatment. X-rays show it has a fractured first digit, so it is receiving splinting, medications and physical therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1140\" src=\"http:\/\/127.0.0.1\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/42w2kMU.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-208\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Northern Saw-whet Owls stand just 7 inches tall, and make a repetitive &#8220;toot-toot-toot&#8221; call. It is unusual to see these secretive nocturnal birds as they perch in dense conifers. Saw-whets primarily hunt deer mice and a single mouse is two meals for them. They are unusual among owls in that they migrate. A banding project called &#8220;Project Owlnet&#8221; which began in the 1990s has been adding to our understanding of their movements. Erie Bird Observatory bands migrating Saw-whets each year.&#8221;<br>______<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udde1\ud83e\udd89&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/owlsintowels\/\">#owlsintowels<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tamarack Wildlife Center (@tamarackwildlife)Original post &#8211; 16 Jun 2023 ____________ &#8220;Our colleagues at Lake Erie Nature and Science Center (@lakeerienature) admitted this young Northern Saw-whet Owl after it was found injured and missing most of it&#8217;s flight feathers, possibly as a result of an animal attack.
