Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley
Although busy season 2009 is now over, the Center continues to receive patients, including some who require critical care, like this Burrowing Owl. Burrowing Owls are in massive decline in the county and are listed as a "Species of Special Concern" by the CA Dept. of Fish and Game. According to Bob Power, Executive Dir...ector of the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, there are currently only 40 known pairs of Burrowing Owls nesting within the county.

This Burrowing Owl came to us in late October with severe head trauma and an injury to its left eye. It was found on the property of Advanced Micro Devices in San Jose. The bird is a juvenile that was banded at Mission College in July. The veterinarians at the Animal E...ye Care Center in Fremont determined that the bird had a retinal detachment. They provided an injection into the eye (Tissue Plasminogen Activator) and the clot is now 50% gone. At this point, he has a 50-50 chance of regaining full vision in the eye. He has another appointment later this month, so we'll know more then. The WCSV would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Animal Eye Care, which has generously provided its services for this case pro-bono.
