OMAHA, Neb. - While many people spent Memorial Day morning preparing for a parade or cookout, the owner of a tree removal service in Iowa was saving a baby owl.Several weeks ago, he was tasked with removing a dying, hazardous tree from someone’s front yard, when he found a barred owl nest.
“It’s a protected species, so I told them we couldn’t remove the tree. We’re going to have to wait until they hatch and fly away,” Gregory toldAs the owl eggs hatched and grew, Gregory monitored them, giving updates on the baby birds for the neighborhood, which quickly got invested in their well-being.“I came by [Monday] morning and saw one hanging by its foot out of the edge of the nest,” he said.
The organization said they suspect the owl has a dislocated leg, and they plan on caring for the bird until he makes a full recovery. They also said this isn’t the first barred owl of the season they’ve cared for. Several already have been blown out of their nests by the wind.“We just had Raptor Rescue out here three weeks ago for a red-tailed hawk,” he said. “I relocated a dove nest last week in a tree we had to take out.”
Gregory said he knows not everyone loves when trees are removed, but sometimes it’s necessary, especially when they risk falling on homes because of damage or rotting.Copyright 2022 WOWT via Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
