Sorry, I hit enter before I was done writing.
Yesterday morning, I decided to take a detour from my regular route to
work, and I turned down Halseyville Road hoping to spot the Enfield SNOWY
OWL that was recently reported. Just as I approached Iradell Road, I found
a snowy owl lying in the middle of the road, an apparent victim of a
collision.
Without examining it too closely, I placed the lifeless owl in my back seat
and headed for the Lab of O, where a staff member guided me in. There
little visible injury to the bird, and we got close looks at its huge feet
and beautiful plumage.
I send my gratitude to the staff at the lab who were so kind with me, for
their reverence with the bird, and to the owl itself for its long journey
south and stunning beauty. I hope the owl will have a permanent place at
the lab, and provide good science education for years to come.
