Cool barred owl I rescued last night

[EKLC]

He was standing in the middle of the street, hit by a car and a little concussed. In very good shape though, so I'm just keeping him over night. It was amazing to see him spread his wings in the context of my small duplex, they were close to 4 feet across.

I saved one earlier this year. He was standing in road on a dangerous curve/hill. By the time I pulled over and got to him, he was hit again. I scooped him up although I though him dead.
He was alive but barely. By the time I reached a rehab person the next morning, he was up on his feet and looking around, one eyed. I was shocked but happy.
He eventually got better under the care of an expert rehabber. They did release him even though he lost an eye. The CT state rehab facilities are overrun with injured Barred owls. He was able to find food, so they felt he had a good chance.
