I am glad that OP wasn't injured.

We had a beautiful white owl hit the wall on our deck a few years ago. I found him when I came home from the store and DH had to bury him. I was so sad I just couldn't get near him. Deer are a dime a dozen around here but owls are quite special.

A few years ago, my sister was on her way to work and she found an owl that was hurt by the side of the road. She stopped. Called me. I took a towel and a pet carrier or a box, I can't remember and some of DH's leather gloves. By the time I got there, a guy had stopped.

Well anyway, the three of us got that beautiful owl into the box or carrier. I brought it home with me. Put it in the extra bathroom, opened the box or container, got it water. The owl came out and I will admit, I was shocked by the size of its tallons and wondered if me and sis were nuts.

Called around and found a vet that would take him. The vet had him good as new in about 3 weeks I think, let him go.

I'm glad you didn't hit it @Anonymous032819.

While on my way to work one night, an owl flew directly into the headlight of my car while trying to catch a field mouse!

With traffic behind me, all I saw was feathers, and I couldn’t stop, so checked it out the next morning when I went home, and there was the dead owl.

How scary. Glad everything turned out good. But still really scary.

@Anonymous032819 Glad you avoided the collision! A few years ago, we were driving north on I-81 in PA and we saw a ring-necked pheasant crossing the road. Even though they were ubiquitous when we were little, our son had never seen one. They are no longer stocked, as far as I know. Just as he was exclaiming over the sighting, we hit the poor bird. My DH said he couldn't swerve due to the traffic. So sad!

If you can imagine, a wild turkey flew into my husbands windshield, same scenario, early on a two lane road. We live on mostly woodland and in the 45 years we have lived here I have never seen an owl, I hear them all the time though. Glad all is well that ends well.
