A barred owl was rescued by York County sheriff’s deputies in Waterboro. 

Community member Carl Landry called police after finding the owl injured on the side of the road Tuesday at around 8 p.m.

Deputies Levi Johnson and Cody Frazier responded and brought the owl to the home of Game Warden Steven Thistlewood. Thistlewood and his wife, Stacy, kept the owl overnight. 

The owl was given over to a wildlife conflict agent who delivered the bird to Avian Haven in Freedom.
