Foul Owl
Earlier this summer (June ‘09) we received a rather unpleasant bird, a Great Horned Owl, who has dunked himself in the raw sewage tank at the Sinking Springs sewage treatment plant. The owl had reportedly flown into a worker at the plant, landing on his back, and then jumped into the tank of goo. Why an adult owl would make such a mistake was an immediate mystery, but its condition was hard to deny. He was officially dubbed “Foul Owl” and it was my job to clean him up.
