The owl arrived safely at its destination.
The Wareham Department of Natural Resources lent a hand to an owl in need on Tuesday.
Officers were told about an owl in distress. When they arrived on the scene, the owl seemed to be having a hard time flying, and eventually landed in a small body of water. The bird was able to make it to shore, where an officer captured it.
The bird seemed to have an old eye injury. The officer brought the owl to the Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable for a medical assessment.
