LSI inspectors found an abandoned great horn owl on the ROW for the SH 130 project.  Permitted to rescue abandoned or injured birds, the Hicks team took the baby owl to a wildlife rehabilitation specialist, where it was raised with 3 other rescued owls.  The owl, nicknamed Bounce, spent over 6 months learning how to hunt and survive before being released into the wild by the highway project.
