Strange Case of the Month

We received a call the other night about an owl that was trapped in a house. The homeowners were vacationing in Florida and notified by family that something was moving around in the home. Somehow during renovations, the workers left doors or windows open and this female Barred Owl decided to venture inside. She was in the house for a short period of time and managed to get trapped in an upstairs bedroom. Two of our volunteers that live close by were able to coordinate with the family and enter the home to rescue the owl. She was at a great weight and only had minor injuries from hitting her head on windows and the ceiling while trying to escape. We treated her mild injuries and released her back to the neighborhood 2 days later.

Moral of the story: make sure to keep windows and doors closed if no one is home. You never know who or what may venture into your home.

We all want to rummage through our neighbors’ house and see what neat stuff they’ve got, but you can’t give in to the temptation, no matter how stealthy you think you are!

Much more dignified than I’d look in that position!

Unhomed evicted and is now homeless. Two thugs self-help evicted a young female the other night. After a unhomed individual was able to find shelter. The two thugs by the landlord direction came in and forcefully removed the young female from the bathroom in which she was hiding from the Invaders. Reports also indicate that the tenant needed medical assistance after she was forcefully removed

Now it could be turned into a TV crime drama with a summary like that!

What a fun article to read. Always a welcome highlight from the memes or the politics on timeline.

Keep it up!

Glad to be your oasis!

I try to give you a good mix of cute, fun, and education and to make it feel like your comments matter.

I really enjoy when people tell me they are surprised when they see the content is quality, not just pics or memes like they expect. I try to make it a good place for everyone with an interest in wildlife, conservation, science, and just random facts.

This group is always going to be niche, but we do seem to rank pretty high all things considered for users and consistent growth.

I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished here so far. I never saw myself as the driving force of a group like this, and I never really expected so many of you to be interested.

But I’m really glad we have this place right now. I get a lot of positive comments about how people look forward to checking in each day, and I like all I get to learn about as well.

An owl is never late, and is never early; an owl arrives exactly when he means to
