State 27 - Nebraska
Raptor Conservation Alliance - Elmwood, NE
Halsey came to us as an adult in 1997, a vehicle casualty suffering severe head trauma. Though he regained his equilibrium, he never got back the fierce disposition characteristic of Great Horned Owls.
Many times Great Horned Owls are referred to as 'tigers of the forest' or 'tigers with wings', so we found it fitting to name him after one of Nebraska's national forests.
This place claims to have helped 15,000+ raptors since the 1970s. They don't look to be open to the public or have much social media, but they do have an annual event coming up, so don't miss your chance!
