An injured owl that was found in Westport is now receiving the care it needs.

According to a Facebook post from Westport Animal Control, the agency got a call from police on Monday after the small Eastern Screech Owl was seen on the side of Main Road in the area of Cornell Road.

An animal control officer used a towel to carefully place the owl into a cage before transporting it to the Dartmouth Humane Society.

From there, the owl will be transferred to the Cape Wildlife Center for additional care and observation.
