barred owl rescue

i found this guy in the middle of the road in Acton Ma.
cars were missing him by mere inches, so i pulled over and was able to bring him to safety.
as of now, he is recovering in Tufts vet. hospital.
expected to be released in the future. i hope to capture that on video

That is the problem with bird that are injured. If u save a bird and it shows no sign of aggressiveness then thats bad it is usually is really hurt then. But the more aggression that a bird shows when it is injured that means it is usually ok. :)

@Zegbana you are 100% right. just before she calmed down in this video i got a nasty look and a fist full of claw that took weeks to heal! i knew @ that moment that she was going to be fine!

Cars are a huge problem for owls. Thank you for taking the time to rescue him. Did he end up being released?

@seemomster2 she is back in the wild.... cars are a bid problem for owls, i learned that "fruit trash" is a big problem. that when you toss a banana peel or apple core out your window that it attracts small mammals to the side of the road.

I hate that it was hurt but I am somewhat jealous that you got to pet an owl that much. I rescued one once and it let me pet it's feet and I barely touched it's back before it "woke up" and flew away... They are so amazingly soft!
