ICYMI: Owl Saved By 2 South Huntington School District Employees

SOUTH HUNTINGTON, NY — Two South Huntington groundskeepers came to the rescue of an owl on the grounds of Walt Whitman High School, according to a news release.

A jogger told the groundskeepers that a bird was caught in the baseball net at the school. The groundskeepers, Blaise Addeo and Brian Faller, rushed over to the net.

"It was no ordinary bird you would expect to find in the middle of the day - the entangled bird was an owl," the school district stated.

The owl had gotten his claws tangled in the net. Addeo covered part of the owl with a blanket while Faller untangled the claws. They slowly and carefully freed each leg one at a time. As they untangled the claws, they spoke to the owl in hopes of keeping him calm and building trust.
