From WildCareOklahoma

Meet WildCareOklahoma patient #24-3218, great horned owl. This is not a typical position for an owl. This one is being weighed. Taking and tracking patient weights is one of the most important protocols followed at WildCareOklahoma. Changes and trends in weight can indicate the patient is improving and moving toward release or that something may be wrong when weight is lost.

You may recognize this scale - it’s the same kind used in pediatricians’ offices!

    Good eye. I noticed that this morning as well. That’d be something I think they would have commented on, as those feet are critical to their survival.

    I did a quick and dirty Zoom and Enhance and now you can see it. It’s just under some belly floof. You can see the grippy texture on the underside of the foot now as well, so that’s a bonus!
