Meet OPHELIA!  She is a Great Horned Owl.  We will be meeting Ophelia next Monday when Calgary Wildlife Rehab Society comes to CHS!  We will be learning about Owls as we prepare for her visit!

Here is some info on her...
She came to CWRS in 2007 with a broken wing. The fracture healed but complications with scar tissue in the tendon prevents her from raptor style flight which is needed for proper hunting, but she is able to fly.  As she was not able to be released back into the wild but had a very quiet disposition, she was considered for an education ambassador.
