A Quartet of Orphaned Baby Screech Owls Being Weighed on a Scale

A quartet of orphaned baby Screech Owls being weighed on a scale at WildCare’s Wildlife Hospital in San Rafael, CA.

These orphaned Screech Owls are being weighed in WildCare’s Wildlife Hospital. They will stay in care until they’re old enough to be released back into the wild. Orphaned birds like these are always raised with others of their own species and contact with humans is kept to an absolute minimum. These little owls are gaining weight and soon will be ready for release!

Here’s how to donate to WildCare if you want to help them with their urban wildlife rehabilitation efforts.
