Annabell Whelan woke up Tuesday and frantically checked on her holiday overnight guest—Nowl the snowy owl, who she rescued from the grille of a car the day before.
Whelan was out with her boyfriend’s family Monday in Duluth, Minnesota, when she saw the owl “just hanging out there, literally” after car and bird had collided, she told The Associated Press. The car’s owner had already called for help, but the animal rescue organization that the bird needed was closed—so Whelan stepped in, not for the first time that day.
