D.C. Snowy Owl Treated After Being Hit by Bus

A snowy owl that has captivated D.C. this winter was apparently met with an all-too-urban mishap: It is being treated for injuries sustained from being hit by a bus.

The owl was reportedly injured by the bus in the vicinity of 15th and I streets. It was found by Metropolitan police, who reported the owl’s injury to the National Zoological Police.

The owl was taken to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo earlier today for treatment. It’s now in the care of the City Wildlife and Rehabilitation Center, which announced late Thursday night the owl is in stable condition.”
