From Owl Rescue Centre

Little guy was rescued on the side of the highway after bumping off someone’s car windscreen. He’s still young, tough and scruffy, but 100% ok to go back home. Our Marsh owl population has declined drastically over the last decade, so everyone of them that we get to save and rewild is pretty special. 😉

Here’s a beautiful adult Marsh Owl for reference.

It’s in the same genus (Asio) with the Short Eared Owl, which I think it most resembles, and the Long Eared Owl and a few others.
