[EBB Sightings] fledgling barn owl in Fremont

My husband and I rescued a fledgling barn owl from the front entrance  
to a house in our complex on Monday. He was full sized, but not able  
to fly. He was unfortunately not in an area where it would be safe  
for him to remain on the ground - too many kids and cars. We took him  
to the Ohlone Humane Society Wildlife Rescue. They said he was in  
good condition and that they'd keep him for a couple of weeks until  
he was ready to be released back into our area. They also told us  
that there are probably several other fledglings in a nearby nest.

A beautiful bird with his white dish face. Wonderful to know that  
barn owls are breeding in our suburban neighborhood. There's plenty  
of food this springs as there seem to be baby ground squirrels  
everywhere I look.
