I just wanted to caution you about the possibility that this owl may have contracted avian flu which could explain its unusual behavior. Supposedly they don't live very long after they get sick, so if it did get the avian flu, it may be dead by tomorrow.
Best wishes to you both.

Hello Birders. I attempted to rescue a GHO who spent the night on my neighbor's front walkway, face-down, with one wing outstretched. I understand two individuals were able to walk past the bird early this morning, (teenagers) and the bird remained in the spot. However, when I went to capture it, with a blanket in tow, it flew off as I got about 15 feet away. I was surprised given the above. Anyway, I saw where it landed, again on the ground, and I plan to try again after sunset. I realize this is a read the tea leaves sort of ask, but does anyone think I'll have better luck late at night, as opposed to sundown?--<image_123650291.JPG>Thanks,Nicolle MartinKen Caryl Valley, CO
