A condominium complex resident in Countryside noticed a owl behaving in a strange manner.  Owls are usually nocturnal animals, and are typically cautious of humans.  It is usually a clear sign of distress of some kind when a large mature bird like this one doesn’t fly away at the first sight of humans.  The Clearwater Police Department deputies responded to the call, and supervised the animal until an animal specialist arrived.  Staff from the Dunedin veterinarian clinic picked up the injured animal.  The bird appeared to have an injured foot.
