Hello Fellow Birdetrs,
I sighted a Saw Whet Owl trapped inside of a new house going up across the
road from my place. I went to catch it with my butterfly net & flashlight
first thing yesterday morning. Fortunately I had a live mouse which I
caught in a mouse trap the night before in my house. It was dragging the
mouse trap around the house. So I caught both trap & mouse and placed it
inside of a cardboard box with the owl, made a perch and placed everything
in my shed for the day so the owl could roost for the day. In the evening
when I came to release the owl the mouse was gone except for the leg that
was still caught in the trap. I became attached to my little friend but
felt much better releasing it and watching it gracefully fly out of my hands
into the darkness of the West. Jeanne took several photos so we do have
the proof of a moment in our lives that we will never forget.
