I'll contribute a dollar per Great Gray Owl seen this winter, give or take five dollars. Put me down for $50. How about the rest of you? Are the owls worth helping or just worth seeing?
And how about the MOU? With a quarter million dollars in the bank, can it afford to help an owl or two?

The owls are coming from collision injuries with vehicles as opposed to starvation and the average cost of a surgical patient at TRC is $1500. Typically this time of year is slow at TRC but with the unusually high patient load, the center is facing some financial constraints. The Kathering B Andersen Fund of the Saint Paul Foundation is offering a 1:1 matching challenge grant to The Raptor Center, so any money donate right now will be matched dollar for dollar. If you have been enjoying the great gray owls this winter please consider making a donation. The Raptor Center receives more than 50% of it's budget from contributions. They take in a lot of birds and none of them have health insurance. You can call in or donate online at www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu.
