Young Marsh Owl Ok after Run In with Car
Young Marsh Owl Ok after Run In with Car
From Owl Rescue Centre
Little guy was rescued on the side of the highway after bumping off someone's car windscreen. He's still young, tough and scruffy, but 100% ok to go back home. Our Marsh owl population has declined drastically over the last decade, so everyone of them that we get to save and rewild is pretty special. 😉
Here's a beautiful adult Marsh Owl for reference.
It's in the same genus (Asio) with the Short Eared Owl, which I think it most resembles, and the Long Eared Owl and a few others.
