An Audubon County Sheriff’s Deputy delivered this great horned owl to SOAR volunteer Cassie. The deputy rescued the owl, that was unable to fly away, from a roadway, so we suspect this owl was hit by a vehicle. No fractures, but does have some bruising and swelling in the right wing. The good thing (?) is the owl is displaying appropriate owl behavior and is biting and kicking. Attitude is everything.
