[Rconnorsphoto@xxxxxxx]

Nashville bird rehabilitation expert Marty Rush went by to check on  the 
Long-eared Owl the evening of Nov. 3, after it was reported by Jeff Cowell.  
Marty 
says she found the bird ("a gorgeous long-eared owl!") still on the roost.  
She enlisted help from the Metro fire hall on the corner (with  permission of 
the chief) and got a fire truck to elevate her to the bird's  level. It 
permitted the truck to approach, and Marty says she got within 2  feet of the 
bird 
when it flew. Mary, who handles raptors every day, injured  and otherwise, says 
she could have used a net, but was trying hand capture. She  said it flew 
several blocks before they lost sight of it, and that it was flying  strong and 
appeared to be healthy.
