Though new to the education roster, this little owl is not new to being in the news. Back in 2010, she and her family of three owlets were rescued from a city park in Erie, PA when the tree limb holding their nest was cut down. Her story received coverage
in local newspapers and television. The owlets survived with no permanent damage and were released on Presque Isle once grown; their mother was not so lucky, suffering a wing fracture that would prevent her return to the wild. She has been cared for at Tamarack ever since.
As an official ambassador to the public, she does have one more very special requirement: a name! The public is invited to submit suggestions for names. Between September 20 and Oct 5 names can be submitted through Tamarack’s website www.tamarackwildife.org or via US mail. If mailing in a suggestion, include the suggested name, reason for the suggestion, your name, address and phone number, and send to TWREC 21601 Stull Rd., Saegertown PA 16433. Your contact information will be used only to inform you if your name is chosen as one of the finalists. Both groups, such as school classes, and individuals can enter suggestions.
