The owl was present about 30 minutes ago, though higher up in the tree, I?m told, from where it had been perched. Two postal service employees, separately, told me that a veterinarian this morning induced the bird to fly and pronounced that it seemed OK. They said that when it came back to the tree some crows started harassing it, but they eventually moved on. All was quiet when I was there and the bird had its drowsy aspect well underway. Cool bird.

I just talked to the Sarvey Wildlife Rehab Centre about the owl (I used to volunteer with them , and they regularly rehab raptors, including owls, and keep a number of non-releasables for education). They agree with the suggestion that ideally someone should watch the owl around dusk today to see if it is moving at all before they put it through the stress of attempted capture. If the owl doesn?t seem to be active, they would intervene tomorrow.
