Overview
- The owl was found injured and unable to fly in a Medford driveway before being brought to Newhouse Wildlife Rescue in Chelmsford.
- X-rays confirmed two broken bones, and rehabilitators wrapped the damaged wing to keep it stable during healing.
- Volunteers said the bird had been exposed to rat poison, which thinned its blood, but they still expect a full recovery.
- Caregivers estimate the recovery could take up to a month under Cape Ann Wildlife’s supervision in Ipswich.
- Newhouse promoted a fundraiser for Cape Ann Wildlife, raising more than $17,000 as its founder undergoes treatment for lung cancer.
