Winged Freedom Raptor Hospital in Wisconsin releases ‘patients’

Veterinarian Kim Ammann and the volunteers at Winged Freedom Raptor Hospital in Spooner have been busy in recent weeks. A barred owl with a broken wing and a pair of bald eagles were recently ready to release.
Healing a bird like the young barred owl takes time. Sometimes it takes more time than anticipated. Ammann walked the owl into a clearing for the release. The bird clicked his beak, one of his defense methods, and seemed ready to soar high and disappear into the tall pines in the area.
