A Turf Care crew member discovered a juvenile Great
Horned Owl on #3 today. It appeared to be injured so O.W.L. (http://www.owlcanada.ca/) was contacted and
they arrived shortly after to pick it up and take it back to their centre for
rehabilitation. We will be contacting them regularly for progress updates
and if all goes well we hope it will be released back on the golf course.
Other wildlife was making noise at Quilchena this
week. That’s right our resident swan was up to her old tricks of ensuring
that our new Head Horticulturist, Jacqui, is aware of her gardening
preferences. Our swan made it clear that she was not happy about where
Jacqui chose to plant some daffodils around the putting green. As you can
see below, we witnessed her plucking the daffodils and piling them off to the
side one at a time right after they were planted. Jacqui now knows to
check with the swan before any final plant material decisions are made.
