This baby owl had two roads of fate awaiting him one spring evening. The first was to be left where he fell only to become dinner to a coyote or racoon that evening. The second was to envoke the sympathy of a fellow co-worker.
But what to do with a baby owl? Well first he contacted the local zoo where he was told the baby wouldn't survive without it's mother. But leaving it on the ground for the mother to find wasn't the answer either - so what to do?
Well Ray ingeniously got a plastic box, climbed up the tree, screwed the box into a limb and put some hay and the chick comfortably inside. Minutes later Mom appeared, happy to have her little one back and eager to take care of it.
Horray for Ray for helping this bird not only be reunited with its Mom but also for saving it from certain death. But not all of us are quite so handy--so what do you do if you find a bird? This link gives you some good advice and usually the local wildlife shelter can point you in the right direction to make sure our feathered friends have a fair start in life.
