I had an exciting day today. When my son went to check the mail he found an owl on the side of the road that had been hit by a car. The poor owl had a badly broken wing. My son caught him easily and carefully carried him home.
We called him Mr Hootie Featherpants
The poor owl is in shock; hence why he is so calm. He was obviously in a lot of pain.
I went on Facebook and hollered for help. One friend does owl rescue in Ontario and was able to give us some advice, other friends helped us contact wildlife rescues, and other friends helped us contact veterinarian in the area. After about an hour of contacting people, the New Glasgow vet said they'd take him! YAY!
So Mr Hootie Featherpants made it to the vet alive! and the vet said his wing looks fixable! Once his wing is fixed, he's off to a rehab :)
And his official name at the wildlife rehab is: Mr Hootie Featherpants (after Spongebob Squarepants)

We saved an owl today ... it was a good day!
