BETHEL Last week, an early morning walker at the Valentine Farm came upon a great horned owlet, which apparently had fallen from its nest. The walker notified the Valentine Farm Office and then waited with Bethel resident Mac Davis until help arrived. While waiting, Davis had to help shield the owlet from a couple of overly curious dogs who passed by.
On top of this, Davis took many photos of the bird until Jody Giddings from Sunday River Wildlife, a non-profit rescue and rehabilitation center in Newry, came to the rescue. Giddings had a strong idea of how the bird ended up on the ground.
