Our Adventures with an Owl

I had taken the kids to the store and when we got back we were walking into the house and the kids got scared by something.  I looked to see what it was and there was an owl staring at me in my strawberry patch.  I figured since it wasn't flying away it was either sick or hurt.  I must admit it completely freaked me out so I wanted to get rid of it.  Greg was attending General Conference at the church building so he wasn't home to help me with it.  He told me who to contact so I did and was able to get pointed in the right direction.  Finally someone from the DNR was able to come get it and was going to take it to ISU for rehab. 
Here is the owl "hiding" in the strawberry patch

Getting caught by the DNR guy

He showed the kids what it looked like.
After he caught the owl he asked if the kids wanted to come out and look at it and so they did.  He talked to them about the owl and what he was going to do with it.  He was really great.
