Mariposa County SPCA celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a Hoot and a Holler

A Barn Owl

 

 

On March 17, 2010 Fresno Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation presented the program for the SPCA’s Annual Meeting. Cathy Garner brought the repertoire of rescued birds that she uses for demonstrations, consisting of a vulture, hawk, falcons, and two owls. The very lively owls hooted during the entire program, constantly interrupting the speaker with the question, “WHO?”

Cathy and her husband Dave use their home in Fresno to rehabilitate wild birds brought to them from California’s Central Valley. They are just one part of a group that makes up the Fresno Wildlife Rescue, ordinary people who have become experts in wildlife rescue through their years of devotion. All of the rescued birds are released back to the wild, if possible, exactly where they were found.

The birds the SPCA saw Wednesday night were unable to be returned because of an injury that would make survival impossible.
