Update from this story from 3 weeks ago!
Jerry, now known as Rajah because they learned it was a girl, is almost ready for release. They grow so fast.
From Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation
They grow up so fast!
Rajah – the Great Horned Owl nestling who was rescued in late February – is absolutely thriving in Sampson’s dedicated care, and has nearly tripled in weight (owl stuffie for comparison – you can see the difference in the photos below from when she first came in compared to today).
Before long, Rajah will be at her full size (though she will still have her downy chick feathers for awhile), and will be able to begin the process of learning to fly.
Thank you for posting all the pictures. Facebook is ass
You’re very welcome! It’s unfortunately the best way to quickly follow rescues, rehabs, and photographers all in one place since it’s free, easy to use for people sharing things, and has huge reach. I hardly have any actual individuals still on my feed, and even with probably 200 wildlife clinics and a good handful of nature photographers, I’m still blasted with AI images/videos and Republican slanted news for probably around 1/3 of what the feed gives me. I sort through all that, and bring the best of what is left to you guys here!
