BATON ROUGE — A barred owl found in a parking garage at Baton Rouge Community College was captured and taken to a wildlife hospital for care on Monday morning.

Nursing and Allied Health students spotted the owl perched in the parking garage early this morning and called campus police.

BRCC PD then called on Veterinary Tech program faculty members Rebecca Wesley and Madelyn Lackey, who safely captured the owl with minimal stress to the animal.

The owl was then transported to LSU School of Veterinary Medicine's Wildlife Hospital, where it was assessed and cared for.
