I hope this was not taken as me giving a "use the search" Reddit type response. Just providing further context for anyone jumping into this story and to give somewhat of an answer as to what happened to the owl. I gave the same post on Blaze's post for anyone that found that one first.
We'll probably know exactly where and how it got spray painted safety orange as soon as people follow it back to it's summer location and see like an orange bridge or something.
I was surprised nobody else really photographed it other than the one lady. Would have been nice to get a leg band or GPS on it too.
