UPDATE: Rescued Great Horned Owl Released!

You may recall that an injured Great Horned Owl was rescued on the golf course about 3 1/2 months ago (http://qgolfclub.blogspot.ca/2012/04/quilchena-wildlife.html).  Well, I'm pleased to announce the rescued owl has been completely rehabilitated and was released back onto the golf course on Tuesday evening.  The fine folks at O.W.L. (http://www.owlcanada.ca/) provided great care for "Tres", who received her name after being rescued on hole #3.  She has a birth defect in the lenses of her eyes that makes it difficult for her to see clearly.  She has been tagged and we will attempt to track her whereabouts and progress, that is if she chooses to continue to call Quilchena her home.

Here are a few photos of Tres' release:



WELCOME BACK TRES!!!
