Found this guy injured on the road this evening!

I am waiting for a bird rescue group in Nashville to contact me so I can take him to them.

Did he lose an eye or is he just dazed? Good man, btw.

 

[mike8170]

He didn't lose it, but has some feathers up in it. I am not going to try to get them out. I will leave that for the professionals.

 

[Destro]

poor little guy! glad theres folks that can help with that kinda stuff

His/her eye is still physically there. If you need the number of a veterinarian that treats wildlife and deals with raptors in your area, let me know.

check the Indiana wildlife conflicts hot line for a local wildlife rehabilitator

There is a lady north of Martinsville that does rescue. She is next to the Fox Cliff sub-division. Unfortunetly I forget her name.

Well, I just met a kid in Martinsville that is a vounteer for the rescue group in Nashville, and he said he/she didn't look too bad. he also said it became docile, since it was injured and could not decide wether it was going to be eaten or not! I will have my girls call them in a few days for updates on its status.

Man, it is nice to get my one good deed done for the year so soon

Good on you!

Owls are neat birds...

 

[abnk]

Cool. Did he try to fight you?

 

[starbreather]

pretty creature

Owls have always fascinated me, used to watch the ones in the barn for hours.

 

[Rayne]

So very glad you took the time to stop and rescue this owl. +1

 

[Noble Sniper]

Good for you helping that owl.......... a very good thing

Is this the place? Indiana Raptor Center: A hospital for birds of prey in the Hills O

If so he/she is in good hands.

I've been to their facility and they love each and every bird and know their stuff about raptors.

Cool. Did he try to fight you?

He tried to get away, then dug his claws in and bit my glove, but when I got him in the house and sit him on the floor, he was very calm, turning his head watching, and even allowed some rubbing on the back of the head. It had to have been knocked silly

That is where he was taken. I met one of their volunteers in Martinsville last night. He said to give Patty a call and get updates on his status.

BTW, thanks all for the rep that was sent!

Very cool find. How often do you get that close to an owl. Kudos for the rescue

 

[HICKMAN]

that's really cool, for the good deed

 

[abnk]

Did you find out the species and approximate age?
