    I’m impressed that the Great Horned was as docile as it looked. Hope it survived intact. Great Horneds are magnificent birds.

       It was probably exhausted from being stuck in there for so long. It doesn’t look too hurt from what little I can tell in the video. I hope it got released home again after some medical care.

    The owls are not what they seem.

     She has a good heart, to be moved to tears by that. Hope it made it OK after this.

    I love the slow-motion blinks.

    And then there’s Tricky, the coyote, who ended up in the same position after getting hit by an SUV.

    MECHANIC: Ah, yeah, there’s your problem.  Owl.
    WOMAN: How much is this going to cost me?
    MECHANIC: Well, first thing you have to figure out is if this is a metric owl, or a standard one.  I’ll call you after I get in touch with my distributor. . .

      And you just know that there’ll be some kind of special de-owler tool that only Ford makes, and the generic de-owlers you get from Pep Boys won’t work with Ford vehicles…

    What a coincidence!  My first sexual experience happened near Yeehaw Junction.

    • robotnik

      Didn’t everyone’s?

      • GawainLavers

        Does…the coincidence…involve a great horned owl?

        • robotnik

          Don’t we all wish? (I guess?)

    “Ma’am, you have an owl in your grille”

      Actually, I was thinking of trying it out as a pickup line.

    That owl is the new dramatic chipmunk/prairie dog.

    An owl got stuck in my classroom in third grade. I say stuck, but it may have stayed there willingly, it looked quite comfortable. It caused quite a commotion and my classroom became the most popular place in school that day.
