The owlets were too small to fly, so they were transported to a rehabilitation center where they could be properly cared for until they were old enough to survive on their own.
Three owlet siblings saved from a Colorado construction site in April were re-released into the wild last week after a four-month stay at a wildlife rehabilitation center. Thankfully, the owls hadn't been injured on site; however, they weren't big enough to fly. Wildlife officials wanted to ensure they could fly and hunt before re-releasing them into the wild.
Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act—which prohibits lay people from transporting, capturing, killing, selling or trading protected migratory bird species without authorization—Williams couldn't touch the nest. So, he called CPW to assist in the relocation of the young birds. CPW District Wildlife Manager Clayton BonDurant and CPW Property Technician Jeremiah Rummel climbed an estimated 35-to-40 feet to lure the owlets from the nest and into a sack.
"Great horned owls actually thrive in a variety of settings, from remote wilderness to populated mountain towns such as Gunnison, in this case, and even in cities, John Livingston, the public information officer for CPW's Southwest region told."They typically do not abandon their owlets, but a few circumstances made this a special case.
