Last week, an adult great horned owl was brought to the SPCA Serving Erie County after being rescued from a manure lagoon. Our team gave the owl a bath to clean its feathers and found it to be in good health. Once it was clean and dry, the owl was released back into its natural environment by our friends at Messinger Woods. #SPCACompassionInAction | The SPCA Serving Erie County, NY

Meet the Great Horned Owl

From ETA Naturalist @drewracer307: “Because Great Horned Owl eyes are unable to move in their sockets, they need another way to scan for prey. Being able to turn their heads 180° makes this possible and is integral to their hunting success. These beautiful birds are also known as tiger owls.
