Just give a hoot and take down the soccer nets when not in use...
This Great Horned Owl is lucky he was found, rescued, and not broken from his ordeal. He is suffering from some soft tissue injuries but should make a full recovery.
A special thanks to Dr Brenton from the Country Companions Veterinary Hospital in Bethany who rescued him. She will be pleased to help with his release when he is ready to go home. Hopefully the net will no longer be in his territory.
We need to do better.. for all of our wildlife. Simple safety checks in our own backyards really makes a difference.
I'll keep my eye out for something not too graphic and I will try it to see what the reaction is.
It's definitely educational, but there have been a few things I'd have been ok not seeing. Maybe I can find something to read about the treatment process to go with it to make it more about that than the injury itself.
