COMMON POORWILL

Description:

So I got a call from a friend that there was an injured baby owl at the theatre,and they wanted to know what kind and what to do,so I told them to put it in a box(to keep it dark and calm so as not to stress the bird) and I will be there in a few. It turns out it was a Common Poorwill,not an owl,and its an adult. It must have flown into a window and was stunned,but I could see no broken wings or any injuries. I took it home for the night,knowing all the rehabers were closed,and was going to take it in the morning,but was awakened at 7:00am by a thud,which was the bird trying to get out. So I took it to the park,opened the lid,and the bird flew away,seeming just fine. Stupid windows.
