Northwest Ohio ODW field reports, May 15

Wildlife District Two

State Wildlife Officer Matt D. Smith, assigned to Huron County, received a call from a concerned landowner regarding a young owl that was out of its nest.

Officer Smith responded to the call and found an eastern screech-owl that had left the nest too early and could not fly. He transported the owl to Back to the Wild wildlife rehabilitation, where it is expected to make a full recovery.

Help keep wildlife wild this spring by calling 1-800-WILDLIFE (1-800-945-3543) or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator before taking any action if you find an injured or orphaned animal.
