LAFAYETTE, Colo. (CBS4) - Lafayette Animal Control Officer Gallatin rescued a great horned owl fledgling on Friday morning. It happened near Stagecoach Way.
Lafayette police said animal control officers would not normally touch a healthy fledgling, but Gallatin could not find the owl's parents, siblings or a nest nearby.
The owl was not yet flying and there were no trees nearby for it to climb to safety, according to LPD. It will be well cared for at a wildlife rehabilitation center until it can be released back in the same area.
