From Cape Ann Wildlife

Some of vou may remember this sweet little Screech Owlet that came through a while back. He’d been found grounded in someone’s yard after a cat attack and spent some time resting up in Erin’s care. We’re excited to report that he’s made a full recovery, has been federally banded and was released back with his family. Big thanks to all who helped make his recovery and reunion a success! Enjoy these wonderful photos by : René Meuse of our little friends big day and special thanks to Jesse Brad for banding him for us!

    It’s the big muscular tatted guy. People expect it to say something like “area cop acquitted of strangling owls” or something.

    No offense to the guy, it’s just the tenor of the times as they say.

        And he is - it’s just that I almost scrolled by because I expected it to be some corrupt police story at first glance.

          The guy is much more apparent than the owl, especially during scrolling.

          I debated which photo to use for the leading image. I chose this one as we’ve had people like the wife from the Owl Rescue Centre get featured, so I thought I’d highlight the nice young guy since we usually get more young ladies in the photos. Gotten even things out when I can! 😜

        I thought his expression was rather harmless and we occasionally get some photos of nice ladies, and I wanted the fellas to be represented some too!

        The way he is clutching the floofed up owl is also funny/cute.

          absolutely agree! i think a man holding an owl is quite a beautiful site. whether he’s tatted or not! =D

            With my looks and where I live, I get mistaken for a MAGA type a lot by strangers, which I am most certainly not. It’s important we focus on actions, not looks!
