A great horned owl was rescued by a state game warden on July 18 after being stuck in a manure pit for two days.
Stinky, as the owl was nicknamed had a red and injured eye and was taken to the Raven Ridge Wildlife Center in Lancaster County.
The owl is now recovering after a BB was removed from the injured eye. Thankfully, there is no permanent damage to the eye.
The wildlife center said shooting a great horned owl is a federal offense, as it's a protected species.
At first, the owl had to be tube fed. It was also bathed several times, given medications, and taken to a veterinarian for X-rays.
Stinky is expected to be released by the fall.
