SPRINGVILLE - Nigel the screech owl is back home after getting stuck in a downspout at the Springville Museum of Art about a week ago.

The city of Springville said on Facebook that the museum’s facilities team came to the rescue and got the owl out of harm’s way. Then, Nigel the screech owl was rehabilitated for a week at the Great Basin Wildlife Rescue.

Finally, Nigel was released back to the grounds of the museum where he lives on Friday.

“During the summer months, it is not uncommon to find these little owls throughout the grounds at the museum,” Springville City said.

The city said the screech owl is native to Utah, and they expressed gratitude to the people who helped with Nigel’s rescue and rehab.

    I wonder what is involved in that… 🤔 I’d have to team up with someone that can illustrate!

    I have no idea, but I keep hearing self publishing is easy and affordable. 8 know Amazon has options for it, I don’t know about alternatives to Amazon, but I imagine they exist.

    I’ve put in to try and volunteer this year at the local rescue/rehab, which turns out is the largest in our state, and they have raptor ambassadors that do family programs, and I’m very curious the process to weasel my way into that. I really like sharing what I learn about them.

    Oh that sounds amazing! Maybe through these avenues, you’ll meet an illustrator? Heck, it’s possible you already know illustrators and just didn’t know it!

    I hope you look into this; I’m somewhere near sixties, and I will definitely purchase your creations, if my budget allows!
