Odin’s Story
Odin comes from the Chicago area. He was found on the ground as a nestling with an injured eye. It is believed that his mother accidentally injured his eye, and knowing he would never be able to survive and hunt, she rejected him. Thankfully, some lovely people found him and brought him in to Willowbrook Wildlife Center, where the eye was removed.
