“Deputy Hepperle would like to remind everyone to not try and remove a wild animal like this yourself,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. “If safe, you can place a blanket or towel over the injured animal and call the sheriff’s office for assistance.”
The owl was taken to Blue Ridge Rescue for rehabilitation.
