(Decorah, Iowa) -- A Great Horned Owl is apparently okay after becoming entangled in a soccer net in northeast Iowa. Decorah Police were called to Luther College Sunday night after a report of an owl stuck in a soccer net. Luther Security and Decorah Police responded and also requested assistance from the Raptor Resource Project. Thanks to the Raptor Resource Project the owl was freed and flew away uninjured.
The Raptor Resource Project posted pictures on social media, explaining the net had been cut before David Kester arrived, but the own was still entangled. Kester was able to removed the net from the owl's wings, body, and neck, then check it for injuries before setting it free. Within a short amount of time, the owl flew away.
