GRAFTON, MA—Jessica Zorge, who works at Tufts Wildlife Clinic at Cummings Veterinary Medical Center at Tufts University, released a rehabilitated snowy owl last weekend after it received treatment at the clinic.

Zorge, who lives in Shrewsbury and was accompanied on this release by her 6-year-old daughter Harper, is also a State and Federally permitted wildlife rehabilitator specializing in birds of prey.
