“After thoughtful coordination with the center and the landowner, our team returned to the site to install a brand-new nest box on the silo — no easy feat on a round metal structure!" the post said.
The owlets were returned to the wild after some “creative problem-solving and teamwork.”
The department thanks the landowners, the raptor center, and everyone who helped give the owlets another chance at life.
