Saw on the patient board today we got a new GHO!
It’s nasty and raining, but I couldn’t wait to see what it looked like, and it’s this sweet little young one. It’s very fiery, poofing up at me, and snapping his beak telling me to back it up already. ☺️
Didn’t get to find out why it’s here, but I’m always excited to see we’ve got a new owl, and I’m glad this one is looking good and outdoors, so I hope it’s on the mend.
Took this photo of Elliot too, as I was looking where the new one was at.
I have no clue what all my phone does, but the photo of the adult was at a much more reasonable distance for a phone pic, and I was kinda proud how well it came out all considered.
The baby is at the far end of a longer flight pen, and it was raining steadily and taken at full digital zoom and then cropped again so it was decently mangled visually, but I just wanted to show we had a new patient. This one seemed very healthy, so I didn’t know if it’d be there by my next shift so I quick took a pic and got out of the rain.
So they’re both “real,” just not very good photos, especially compared to what we normally get to see here.
