Screech Owl took a second to leave the box (likely due to the hour car ride), but flew straight out into a tree line, navigating beautifully around a fallen tree branch.
Got a call from Lynne yesterday 12/9/20 about a screech owl in Bristol IN stopped in and the lady had in the house in a cage. I found out later when she called in she said she had it a couple days. It was very lethargic easy to handle. Saw left wing spread out but not right one. The lady confirmed it did that with her also. I took to icu .
