About Tumbleweed the Owl

Tumbleweed, an adult great horned owl, was brought to the Waystation by someone who found him with an injured left wing. He arrived about the same time as the 2009 Station Fire. The first animals to be evacuated were the birds as the smoke would quickly affect their lungs. While waiting to be evacuated this newcomer was on a low perch near tumbleweed, which he tried valiantly to perch on, but failed miserably, so we named him “Tumbleweed”!
Tumbleweed is a very calm raptor, who rarely makes any vocalizations. He has adjusted very well to life at the Waystation.
