20200411-Great Horned Owl-1

I was driving up to get coffee, when Lynne called and said an owl was caught in a soccer net.  Of course I said, send me the directions.  It just so happened that I had just passed the subdivision where the bird was located.  I made a u turn and was at the house in 5 minutes.   I was directed to the back of the house and found the GHOW entangled in a soccer net.  Also in the net was the rabbit he had been chasing; also entangled in the net.  I spent the better part of 10 minutes cutting the owl out and freeing it.  Once in the box, I went back and freed the rabbit as well.  It took off like a, well you know.  Saved them both.   He was taken back to ICU and triaged.  As always, I hope and pray for them all to make it.  Lets hope this guy makes it back to nature.   Bill Oberg 04/12/2020 This Owls initial exam showed some damage to its left eye and lower left bill. It will be taken to our veterinarian on Monday for xrays and a complete exam. Meanwhile it is being treated with medication for pain and an antibiotic just as a precaution
