Look who last night’s storm blew in! 🦉 This little guy is a Northern saw-whet owl, and he appears to be as surprised as we were to find him at the clinic. He was found on the Upper East Side, unable to fly and very wet. He came in drenched, cold and stuporous. After a blow dry, some warmth and fluids, the owl perked up, then spent the night in an incubator with oxygen. Today he was feistier and defensive. We suspect he suffered a collision, based on his demeanor and some dried blood under his chin. But we’ll be doing further examination once he’s more stable. 📷: Eugene Oda
