From Hoo’s Woods

Good Morning, Joe!

This is Joe our newest rehab patient-a tiny Eastern Screech Owl with quite a story.

Joe was rescued by a compassionate 13-year-old boy after being found tangled in netting. Thankfully, help arrived in time.

While Joe didn’t suffer any broken bones, he’s recovering from sprains and strains and needs time to heal. His mother did everything right by contacting us immediately rather than just releasing Joe.

The good news is his prognosis for a full recovery is very good.

Why the name Joe? His size is comparable to an average coffee cup-your classic 'cup of Joe."

Joe will be staying with us at Hoo’s Woods for a little while as he continues his rehab journey. Let’s send good vibes to the young man who cared and to Joe for a speedy recovery.

    Attaboy 13-year-old and his mom! Thank you Hoo’s Woods! Hopefully somebody on the facepals will feel Holiday-ish and buy them things or donate for ol’ Joe here.

    Free oxygen and a fresh mouse or two and this fellow will be back screeching with the best of 'em.
