Default Found a baby owl tonight

Found a small owl on my trailer fender tonight.

Might take it to a wildlife center tomorrow, but I also learned from reading tonight, that baby owls are able to climb trees back to their nesting spot.

The question is, can we find which of our trees - if it is our tree - that it came from so we can put it on the trunk.

Sure is a soft little creature, like a small puffball.

Sharp claws, but it didn't hurt when it perched on my finger. Was nervous, but definitely liked having the back of its head rubbed like our birds. It would close its eyes and relax. It's covered in one of our smallest parrot travel cages for the night.
