Thank you to Beach road muscular therapy for the generous 2024 sponsorship of Nickerson, Wild Care’s Animal Ambassador Eastern Screech Owl! Nationally certified and licensed massage therapist Jennifer Budryk has been mountain biking in Nickerson State Park for 40 years, and hopes to bring awareness of the importance of having tree work done before nesting and baby season.
Nickerson was brought to us as an owlet when her nesting tree was cut down in Nickerson State Park. She suffered an eye injury when the tree fell caused blindness in one eye. Because of the injury she was not fit for release. Being a young bird, Nickerson was a great candidate to become an educational animal, providing us the opportunity to teach the Cape Cod community about the importance of Eastern Screech Owls to our ecosystems, and why tree felling during spring and summer months hurts wildlife. In 2017, Wild Care acquired a federal permit to keep Nickerson as our educational owl ambassador. She’s been out-and-about ever since charming people at Wild Care and community events, schools and more. 🦉
