Great capture Paul.

I had a screech owl fly into my wind shield on a dirt road and was able to stop before he slid off and got run over. Took him home and he came to in about an hour. Kept him in cage while he recovered . His right eye looked to be still damaged after a week when he wanted out. He flew up to a low branch in a oak tree with a piece of raw cube steak in his mouth. While he was at my house he ate good, raw fish, steak, hamburger, cheese and as much as he wanted. They even like limburger cheese! I would have loved to have kept him, he was tame enough to accept food from my fingers. The size of their mouth is unreal, huge for the size of the bird. I believe one would have to have a special permit to keep a raptor. I later found I would have to have changed his diet to stuff with feathers and hair!

Was he able to be released or did he go to a shelter sort of place?
