Oh bummer. I think it’s been pretty reliable. Photos I’ve seen show it near a power box or something like that. Not the most photogenic setting, but you take what you can.
Apparently one was rescued near Westby the other day with a broken wing. A rehabber is caring for it now and it should be fine. If anyone is looking at these owls, please keep your distance and don’t flush them for the “perfect” shot. They are wild creatures and should be seen as such. Every winter, this stuff rears its ugly head and tempers on the bird pages start to flare.
