Lily Trimble, clinic supervisor at Wildlife Images Rehabilitation & Education Center, releases a barn owl into the wild after it went through the center's barn owl rehabilitation program. The orphaned owl was found as a fledgling in Jackson County, before being taken in by the center where it received the necessary care and preparation for life back in the wilderness. The owl, along with two others found at the same time, was released on Saturday in front of a large gathering at Wooldridge Creek Winery in the Applegate Valley.

The three raptors were found orphaned as fledglings. One, a female, was found near Central Point. The other two, a male and a female, were members of the same clutch and were unable to be put back in their nest because they were found in a vehicle in Jackson County.
