Sometimes, owl you need is a little hoot of encouragement! Yesterday on Mount Washington, MWOBS Summit Interns Frank and Peter discovered a small owl shivering in the snow while taking their daily snow stake measurements. Its eyes were frozen shut and it was icing up in snowy, foggy, and windy conditions. With the help of NH State Park staff, our birding enthusiast volunteer Wendy, and lots of other input, we took our friend inside to warm up before NH State Park staff was able to take him/her down with their shift change to get them to NH Fish & Game. We hope our Northern Saw-Whet Owl friend lives a long and healthy life not at the Home of the World’s Worst Weather! While no longer on the mountain, please comment any name suggestions below to commemorate our little friend’s eventful trip to Mount Washington!
