The same Great Gray Owl just after release. This bird came to us having seizures, likely from insecticide poisoning. Jeannette Bonomo grew up in Colorado and worked as a photographer prior to graduating from Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology in 1996. Although she enjoyed her job working as a Certified Veterinary Technician in a 24 hr animal hospital, she decided to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center in 1999. It was there that she learned to care for wild songbirds and mammals. Currently, she has raised and rehabilitated hundreds of songbirds and mammals, including many reptiles (a personal favorite)! In 2008, Jeannette was introduced to Dr. Jeff Cooney and his raptor rehabilitation work. Since then, they have worked together helping to give Central Oregon’s wildlife a second chance - they perform many lifesaving treatments and surgeries on countless wild birds and animals. Jeannette has also worked as a Wildlife Specialist at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. She is currently a full-time wildlife veterinary technician at HDWRR, and cannot imagine a better job.
