Owl found on side of Williams Lake road transported to rehabilitation society
The owl may need weeks to months of rehabilitation after a volunteer network arranged transport and assessment, officials said.
- A paramedic rescued an injured long-eared owl from a Williams Lake roadside and brought it to the BC Ambulance Station, where volunteer wildlife rescuer Sue Burton collected the bird, suspecting it was struck by a vehicle.
- On Friday, July 3, Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd. transported the owl in a plastic-covered pet carrier to Delta in the Lower Mainland, where the OWL Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society was prepared to assess the raptor.
- Burton, who has performed animal rescue efforts for well over 10 years, maintains a volunteer network across the Cariboo Chilcotin. She coordinates closely with the Northern Lights Wildlife Society in Smithers and the Good Caws Crow Rescue Society in Prince George.
- The owl appeared to have no visible physical injuries upon arrival at the OWL Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. Burton noted on Thursday, July 2, that the raptor seemed to be doing okay despite refusing food.
- Rehabilitation at the OWL Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society could take anywhere from weeks to months as staff conduct further assessment. The recovery timeline depends on the extent of injuries from the suspected vehicle collision.
