Owl Rehabilitation Featured on The Dodo

November 10, 2026

Green Chimneys regularly works with other local wildlife rehabilitators to help native animals receive care suited to their needs. One common partner is Cottontail Cottage Wildlife Rehab, who specializes in mammals, while our Wildlife Center focuses on birds, so our teams bring complementary expertise to wildlife rescue.

When an injured owl was found in a tree, Cottontail brought it to Green Chimneys for care. Our staff identified it as a long-eared owl which is a rare visitor to our center and only the second we’ve cared for in 15 years. X-rays from our veterinarian revealed a broken shoulder. After time to heal, the owl was released near where it had been found.
