Screech Owl and chipmunk

One hopeful story, one uncertain: A chipmunk recently taken in by the care center should be fine after it has surgery on its injured tail, but this Screech Owl may not recover from its injury. A car hit the owl and broke the small bird’s shoulder – an area of the body where it is difficult for bones to heal correctly.

The chipmunk was attacked by a cat, a reminder that birds aren’t the only animals threatened by outdoor felines. Learn more about why it’s good to keep cats inside.
