This great horned owl fledgling was found alone, away from its parents and nest, near a chemical processing plant in southern Utah on April 24, 2017.
Because of its proximity to danger, technicians from Utah Division of Wildlife Resources picked up the bird and took it to a partnering rehabilitation center, the Southwest Wildlife Foundation Inc.

After spending 2 months in rehabilitation with the SWF this young great horned owl has finished growing all its feathers, gaining strength and learning to catch small quarry such as mice, rats and quail. It was released at 8:30 PM on June 24 just before sunset and just after the last speaker at the Summer Solstice Event held at the Parowan Gap each year.
Connie Sowards from our local Family support Center was given the opportunity to release this owl.  Learn more about their organization and the services they provide at their website: http://utahfamilysupport.org/cedarcity/index.html
Caring for sick, injured and orphaned native Utah wildlife, restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is one of the primary goals of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.For those that cannot be released due to disabilities, the SWF is developing the Cedar Canyon Nature Park, which will provide non-releasable wildlife with a permanent home in a natural setting while enhancing educational opportunities. The SWF is a non-profit wildlife rescue, wildlife and environmental educational organization.
