Great owl story











West Coast Smokin' Oysters is feeling hopeful.
We were coming from our community potluck on Thursday evening where from out of nowhere we were hit by a fast moving animal on the hood of our truck.
We stopped and a Terry found this owl what appeared to be dead on the road. He wrapped it softly in a bag and placed on the backseat of our truck to give it a proper burial. 
Well Friday came and went and we forgot to go out to the car and get it. So this morning Terry went to the cat and low and behold he found “ Lucky” alive and well sitting on the headrest.
Terry and our neighbour Dan tried to release it but it didn’t go so well. A flock of stellar jays arrived to most likely end its life. So Dan recaptured it and he’s in the car carrier with water and some raw venison till we can drop him off at the North Island Wild Life Recovery Centre in Errington on Wednesday.
