Mr Porcupine has been released to the wild! 🌲🌲🌲
Through the care from @thunderbirdwildlife and @procyonwildlifecentre he was rehabilitated and made ready to go back home to Northern Ontario.
Huge shoutout to our very own Pilot Greg Campbell who not only flew the mission, but stayed for the release ❤️
Our pilot, Jeremy Hope, just delivered over 900lbs of critical supplies to remote God's Lake Narrows! This community relies on such deliveries to keep their animals safe and healthy over the winter months.
We have a lot more food and supplies waiting in Winnipeg. Any pilots able to help transport are encouraged to reach out to us!
This little Barred Owl flew with us to be rehabilitated at @theowlfoundation in June. Now, all grown up and healthy, we are flying him back to the wild!
Today, this Barred Owl and a Screech Owl friend are waiting at St. Catherines Airport to be picked up and be released back home 🌲🌲🦉
Meet Lizzi! When she was a stray, she came into the care of our newest partner rescue @wetnosesrescue (see first picture)
And meet Lizzi now (see second picture) - through the love and care of rehabbers at Wet Noses Rescue, she's in great health 😍
On September 26, she'll be welcomed in Vancouver, from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She'll then be flying with us to her new forever home in Calgary 🛩🐾🐕
Keep tuned for updates on her journey
Our passengers (one Great Horned Owl and one Red Tail Hawk) getting loaded into their containers! They will be on the road soon to the airport where they will next meet up with our volunteer Pilot Gerd for what will be their last airplane ride back "home" to Ottawa - their next flight ... no pilot or plane required! Back to the wild 🌳🦅🌲
In late July, two fledgling Merlin Falcons were found orphaned and turned over to one of our animal rehab partners @wildbirdcarecentre
That's where we came in and transported the birds to @theowlfoundation for more specialized care! Each bird was transported in their own girl guide cookie box by our amazing pilot Gerd. He flew the pair from Carp Airport to Burlington and graciously drove the rest of the way to the Owl Foundation offices.
Stay tuned, as this week Gerd flies another pair of birds who have been fully rehabilitated by the Owl Foundadtion and are ready for release!
