In addition to the towel, the owl wears an expression of malcontent, amplified by extra wide pupils and a steep angled brow. Unhand me human or my wrath will be swift.

Original text:

When you are about to get in the shower and the door bell rings! The Great-horned owl was sprayed by a skunk and had multiple baths. He was blind from the skunk spray. Fortunately on November 16th he was released. A DPS [Department of Public Safety] trooper from Sonora drove the owl to Lubbock when he found him on the side of the road.

Normally I link directly back to the original post but this was shared on an Instagram story that has since disappeared. I reached out to South Plains and thankfully they have supplied the original photos:

Wishing this Great Horned well on its recovery and hopeful release. And big respect to the team at SPWRC for the great work they do.
