These pictures were taken during the spring of 2022 at a park in SW Albuquerque. The pictures detail the story of Windy the Owlet whose story started at the beginning of April until it was taken to a foster mom owl who will hopefully get it strong enough to go back to the big world. The owl had a brother or sister who fell at the beginning of April and did not make it. She soon fell from the nest on at least 3 occasions with the last time bring on May 15, 2022 when she was taken to Wildlife Rescue and eventually placed with a foster mom owl. Thank you to the neighborhood people who watched over these owls and eventually saved it. This is a sad story, but we are all hoping it will have a happy ending. I'm keeping Windy and he mom and dad in my thoughts. I'm sure it is hard on them not to finish this story together. Special thanks to Jason from the Wildlife Rescue in Albuquerque. You see him pictured with Windy the last time it was placed in the owl box/drawer.
