Oil-Covered Owl Gets Clean After Falling Into California Pit
That is one dirty bird. A great horned owl recently fell into an oil pit in Ventura County, California, and the soaked bird needed a good scrubbing. Workers from the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Networks scooped the animal up and brought it to the center for treatment.
