I heard years ago that owls can pick up little dogs and carry them off. I've had a few fly over and always grab a broom if the little dogs are out.
The are worth saving, as with all non violent critters.

Thanks for saving the Owl. I think they are facinating.

What a gorgeous little owl! A few years back we had a Barred Owl that got hung up in our barbed wire fence. I guess he was catching field mice and got into trouble. We put on heavy leather gloves and managed to get him out of the fence, but his wing was pretty mangled. We took him to a bird sanctuary and they had to amputate the wing...he now lives there and is used in educational programs.

Barred owls are HUGE! Well, compared to a little screach owl LOL. Being able to rescue one of our feathered friends is a blessing. We may not be able to do much, but it still gives us a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
