Great Horned Owl Rescue!
On a beautiful Saturday morning, Volunteers for Wildlife received a call regarding a large distressed owl tangled in a soccer net at a home in Cold Spring Harbor. VW Director, Eileen Hagerman, and her husband Tom loaded up their car with the necessary supplies and rushed to the owl's aid. Upon arriving at the scene, Eileen and Tom discovered the owl was a Great Horned Owl that had become entangled while in pursuit of a rat. After several minutes spent untangling the owl and cutting the soccer net, the owl was finally free of the net. He was brought to Volunteers for Wildlife's Wildlife Hospital for further evaluation. Stay tuned for updates in the coming days on his story!

But how was the rat?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm hoping the owl improves enough to fly and go wild again. This is not the first time we've seen this particular entanglement!
The rat did not survive. The owl on the other hand is improving each day!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, great video! My husband showed it around his school to his science/nature teachers; they loved it!
