Another unexpected animal encounter. This owl was really stuck in the barbed wire. Luckily with some careful moving around I was able to free him!

Being unable to fly and with an open wound it needed some medical attention. Even with a un-broken wing it would be very prone to infection. Took this guy about an hour away to an SPCA and it’s expected to make a full recovery!

Always keep your eyes out for wildlife in need of help, most of the time they will be fine without human intervention but times like this it is much needed. This owl had to have been on that fence for at least 6-10 hours. This was mid day and it probably flew into the fence over night. Lots of people must have drove by without seeing it or thinking it was already dead. I always check and this is a perfect example why
