Colorado: Boulder County animal control officer rescues baby owl from Lafayette gravel yard

COLORADO -- A Boulder County Sheriff's Office animal control officer rescued a 6-week-old owlet from a gravel yard in Lafayette this morning.

The owlet (baby owl) was found by employees at Brannan Sand & Gravel, at 1240 Rock Creek Circle, around 9 a.m. today, according to Boulder County sheriff's spokeswoman Carrie Haverfield.


Haverfield said the owlet was found in a frontloader with a possible injury to its wing, so Boulder County sheriff's animal control Officer Brandy Perkins responded and took the bird into her care.

The baby owl -- named Brannan after the gravel yard where it was found -- is currently at Birds of Prey Foundation in Broomfield for examination. Haverfield said aside from the possible injury to its wing, the owlet appears to be in good health.
