Emma

Great Horned Owl
About

Emma arrived in May 2025 after she likely fell from her nest and then was fed by humans. When rescuers arrived to a call about a fledgling owl on the ground, they found that she was imprinted and very comfortable around humans. She also had a traumatic cataract in one eye, and our veterinarians determined her to be a good candidate for cataract surgery. Since that surgery, she has recovered almost all of her vision but cannot return to the wild due to imprinting. Find Emma during Raptor Chats and on walks with her trainer.
