Remembering who?

New Castle lost an owl today.
Chip Fowler, a worker with the town’s DPW, spotted the owl on his way into work this morning. Crows were beating up the nocturnal bird, the story goes. Fowler returned with a box, collected the avian denizen of the night and headed back to DPW HQ on Hunts Lane.
The rescue was related to me by David Rambo, the department’s assistant commissioner. While Rambo was trying to find a wildlife rehabilitator to care for the creature, the owl passed away. Confirmation of his death came from Frank Becerra, a photographer for The Journal News, who stopped by the department this afternoon to photograph the bird.
Rambo wasn’t sure what kind of owl he had in hand. But after an Internet search, he thought it might have been a barred owl.
