I was a Maine rehabber for over 20 years. I remember the first owl. She was very young. I called our vet after I got her home to see when I could bring her in. He said " I hope you have heavy gloves". I was like, ah, no, she and I are just sitting here on the tailgate of the truck. I could feel his head shaking through the phone lol.

@debrashannon @overholt @metafilter I wish I remembered what I had done in a similar situation. I was in grad school; a girl I knew had injured her foot and couldn't drive her standard transmission. She called me and said a baby great horned owl had fallen onto her deck, and would I drive it to wildlife rehab. I got there; her cat was looking at the bird like WTF is this, and the owl was looking back like "don't even think about it." I think somehow we got the owl into a box...
