Casper the foster mom owl has raised hundreds of rescued owlets as her own

[Spazito]

She's a strong, independent, single mother with over 500 kids.

Great horned owl Casper has taken that many owlets under her wing during her 26 years at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society in Delta.

And nothing comes between Casper and her babies.

She is currently fostering four fledglings, all rescued from different circumstances and all around the same age — between six and seven weeks.

Casper came to the society in 1999, after getting caught in a leg-hold trap in Prince George.

With missing talons, Hope said she would not do well hunting in the wild. But she proved to have other talents.
